The engine is a 10.5:1 347. I'm having some difficulty getting it started, although everything is there. I recently suspect that the TFI might not be turning on when I crank the engine over since I'm running a keyless ignition setup and hardwired a momentary pushbutton straight to the starter relay. The engine will turn over and almost light off but not quite catch... currently the car has 0 miles, haven't even gokarted yet

I am about an hour and a half away from OKC and Tulsa as well, but we usually go to OKC because of the tolls on 412. I'd definetly be interested in paint recommendations for guys that have experience with kit cars and fiberglass. My car will be painted Audi silver, like the A8s, and other than being disassembled, having the doors/hood realigned, and a good cleaning, should be ready for paint.
