I was just using painters blue tape to label everything so far and it is holding up well. I am going to be extending all of the wires tonight and mounting the computer. Should be pretty close after that.

Sounds like you have got it covered! congrats! looking forward to the latest pictures,Glad the painters tape is working out for you, the regular masking tape was just getting to dirty and the ink tried to smear, so I did the other tape method with no problems.

Well I lenthened the headlight harness tonight. Very time consuming. Just take your time and make sure all the connections are tight. I soldered all of the connections with shrink tube except the 14 gauge ones, there were a little thick to twist. I ended up using butt splices with shrink tubing built in on those 3.

Here's the finished pic. I extended them all around 3 feet so they would make it into the passenger floorboard.

Awesome job, the only difference I would have soldered the 14 gauge wire also,even though it's a lot heavier wire ,it can be soldered, just makes for a better connection. I don't trust just a but connector,but with solder the connection is complete. Thanks for doing this write up, this gives me something to do later down the road,want to get the car back together and running first to enjoy it, but then once summer is close to over,I'll be doing the rest of my wire tuck..

Got everything extended and the intake back on. Had to extend the front two COP plugs on the driver side but that was it.

Thanks John! Just ordered the battery box and cables. Damn the cables are expensive! $75 for a 15' positive and a 3' ground wire. Both are 1 gauge

Hell yea they are! Mine have been sitting here since December lol.

Hope your going to wrap the wires better,Pictures aren't the clearest to see your progress,congrats on getting it done... I didn't move the fuse box or computer on mine yet,but i had a lot more wires to extend ,far as coils and injectors , cam sensors, the maf and a few others.
