^^Hey! thanks man! i'm trying to get this thing going!

Small Update:

Worked on bleeding the clutch some more... and I don't know how long it takes but it's taking forever. I found a leak a few nights ago in one of the braided lines that goes to the master cylinder, and after that I kinda took a break from it. Well I started again and there are no leaks..but the Clutch pedal isn't getting stiff. It seems as if there is endless amounts of bubbles. Is this the correct way to bleed? I don't know.. but this is what I've been doing:

Pump Clutch 5-8 times and hold to floor
Crack Bleed Screw open ( bubbles always flow out)
Tighten Bleed screw
Release Clutch pedal
AND repeat.

So is air getting into the system somewhere? But the pedal still won't get hard and it won't even get stiff enough to propel itself back off the floor after a bleed rotation. Any help would be appreciated.

So I made a nice new Bleed bottle out of an old hand soap bottle, it's a lot thicker than the plastic bottle and much more clear.

After spending about an hour working on the clutch bleed...
I gave up and started working on the Fuel Pump wiring:

Got these little rocker switches as well...(using "Theories"re-wire) Thanks tom

I suck at wiring.. but heres how I doubled the rocker ground wire/relay to the frame

then I got out my soldering Iron and laid down some wannabe beads haha
put some shrink wrap on it and called it done.

shrink wrap over terminal

Hoping to finish it all off today. THe pics I posted are a little dis-organized..but I'll get some better ones today when I finish it off.

After the fuel pumps are wired up I should be able to actually turn the key in the ignition and I'm totally expacting.....
