D&R Coupe - just now building it

Oh HAPPY DAY!!! ::bounce I got my Diablo over to my buddy's shop to do more body and such tot he car as I'm getting pretty busy with my work and a move to TX and I don't want to loose momentum on getting the car done. So I have pics of the struts in the doors and a short video of my daughter letting the door open. SO excited about this getting done I've had enough left over for 2 days now, going into the 3rd! :-) I've waited on this day to see the doors open on their own for 16 years now!!!
Here's the pics and video.

Thanks,

Sorry it's been soooo long since my last post. I hadn't fallen off of the face of the earth or anything. You guys aren't getting that lucky already. :-)
No, I've been tackling plenty of other things as of late.
I did however get some help from the forums on speeduino.com for getting my car to spark on the new Speeduino setup. Pretty sweet. Now that, that is done, I'm ready to get the fuel right for the fumes box. Once I have that, I'll have a full list of things that people could get and copy what I've done. You know, for whoever would like to have a 100+ MPG V8 around to drive. :-D
Some links here to some of the troubleshooting I've been doing.

I was saying over on kitcentral that I was dropping the car off at a buddy's shop and probably not working on it while it was over there...
Ok, so after dropping it off, I'm still running out and doing stuff to the car. I replaced the fans as mine were growling badly (bearings were going in them). The growl was louder than the air moving through them, that's how bad it was. But now they just sound like air moving so fast that I could knock it neutral and ride on it. :-)
I will download all my pics and videos for updates and get them posted up on the build diary and a link to them here.
Oh yeah I got a cool new FI computer setup that I will talk about too. Very easy to get it going. Now we'll see if it is easy to get it going on the car itself. But loading the code and testing the board itself was a snap. just followed the page and it worked as it should. Speeduino is what it is called. All open sourced hardware/software. I'm all about that. :-)
Thanks,
Coop

Oh, it's pulling well. Next up will be mapping the FI output to tables. (RPM + MAP) & (RPM + TPS) and I'll not have to turn the knob anymore after that! SWEET!!! ::bounce
