I'm getting power at the COP harness, but I lost my helper and can't check for spark at the plug while cranking all by myself. I do believe that the COPs are working, as they were tested and in working order when I bought them.

I've decided to just bring the car to the tuner (dentsport) to diagnose the issue, as well as break in the motor and then dyno tune. I'll be calling them tomorrow to set up the appointment.

I took a picture of the engine bay (as it's more or less finished) today on my phone for your viewing pleasure:
Note the cut valve cover, the vac block mounted on the firewall, the catch can mounted to the fuse box bracket, and the new apexi filter, to hit on the big ticket items.
I have a buddy coming over tomorrow to try a couple things on the no-start situation, so hopefully we can get it sorted!

Went out after work and played around for a little bit. I took the bumpers off the car in preparation for paint and cleaned things up a bit. I also borrowed a real camera and took some good pictures.
Here's a good shot of the engine bay:
and one of the catch can/vac block:
And one of the garage:

Finished up the rear bumper and gas cap, but I ran out of paint for the front bumper 
. Going to disassemble the booth and clean out the garage tomorrow, as well as take all the plastic off the car, then it's time to try and fire it up again. Hopefully with the new megasquirt it should start right up this time.

With the clear coat:
black on the windshield frame...
Once I unwrap the car I'll take some full car shots. Overall I'm very pleased with the results- not bad for my first time painting a car! After it's running I'll give it a wetsand/buff/polish to make it really shine.
