pullies I dunno. As far as the fans, I ran mine directly to the cigarette lighter so they come on with the ignition. Only had the wires try to catch fire once!

As far as the electric fans go i would hook them up to a toggle switch. it will save it on the highways and speeds that you wouldnt need a fan because they will die over time, trust me i know i ran mine to the ACC and burned it up in a matter of months. If you dont have ac you could use the ac switch/relay setup and wire it to the fan so you wont fry your wiring and you can turn it off at highway speeds. just my thoughts though

You can also get a temperature switch that taps into your coolant hose, and switches the fans on when the coolant gets hot enough. My FAL fan came with one; I'm not sure how available they are without buying the fans, though.

Cutting the quarters out today, and getting some of the body work done. I've decided not to leave the car at the shop overnight. Sucks that I have to drive back and forth but I'm not letting the car out of my sight!

Oh my god that was almost a year ago.......... This has has taken way too long to finish. I have not driven this car but probably 3 times since I last wrote about this car, and that he was just around the block. A couple days ago I got really tired of her just sitting in my parents driveway, so i made a decision to help speed the process up, instead of cutting the quarters I rolled them with a pull, so now I am ready to throw some paint around. BOUT F-ING TIME. But wait there's more The last time when is was going to cut the quarters the car was at the shop on hull st. and some jack-ass decided that wanted the cheep steering wheel and pedal covers that i got for like 15$ on ebay that were sitting in the back seat. So he broke the drivers side window and got it........ just as well I wasn't going to put that crap on her anyway. But as of yesterday all is fixed and clean. I have some pics of the progress, I will post them soon
