how to get my car back on the road?

[SS Shaun]

ok so i am the kind of guy (because of my dad's theory) that i always work on my drive train first. meaning rear end rebuild (done) trans rebuild (done) motor built, rebuilt, or new one (not sure what to do still up to this day) then worry about everything else. So i am at the point where my rear is done my trans is done motor since i am still not sure what to do i am not touching it yet. With all of this craziness in my life i some how managed to save up just about 2 grand. But not sure what to do next with my chevelle. My rear is rebuilt including new brakes, new brake lines, new shocks, new springs. i kind of started working from the rear of the car to the front of the car.

I currently have the trunk harness and the middle harness new and installed. So do i get a new dash harness? do i get the one with the new style fuses? and work on getting the interior up to par? Do I get a new motor or rebuild my 454? do i leave it alone and see if it runs?

to answer the golden question that everyone is thinking or going to ask

what do you plan on doing with the car?
Well i want to have it a very very fun to drive weekend driver. when i say that i mean from april to nov when i get home from work friday that will be the car i drive might even drive it to work on fridays but friday saturday and sunday will be my daily driver for the weekend.

Will the car see the strip?
Yes but nothing to serious. if i can get the car to see 13s i will be happy

what about auto cross since you love it so much?
not really that is what the rx7 is for

comfort is the key here. I want it to be smooth but have some rough edges like it was built. not really thinking about lowering it to much maybe an inch so i can get some good handling since i live in the woods/backroads.

things i (think) i need
front suspension
front brakes
new brake booster and brake master cylinder
new tires (but i would like new wheels)
repair the floor from the t56 install (a small piece of sheet metal and an hour with the welder will do it)
headlight harness
battery
inner fender wells
battery tray

I know this is a long post but i'm trying to get my act together because i REALLY want to drive the car this spring

So i ask you what did you do to get your car on the road and what do you think i should work on next?

on top of that i need my seats redone or new ones but i dont need those to look all pretty to drive the car yet...lo
