Well, making some progress this weekend...Boy, did the time fly by today!

Brake lines are mostly done (really didn't have to do much there). Pedal assembly complete. Started running the wiring today....So far, what I know for sure about wiring, is that I am going to have a lot of questions down the road. I stink at wiring and always have.

That said, the easy part of the wiring is out of the way. Because the wiring harness is for front engine cars, there's some work to do to pull get the front and rear harnesses in order...Easy, just time consuming.

Wire ran to front and back down the spine with nice grommets. Tried getting the holes as far forward as I could with a 90 degree drill adaptor in hand. Not enough room for a standard drill get in that far forward of the access panel.









Decided to mount the fuse box behind the switch panel. Some original cars seem to have the fuses either behind a panel (similar to what I have done) or the old school fuses actually mounted and exposed on the front of the panel. I really like that look as it is of a raw look, and will probably make a "for appearances" only version. It's nice to have the new style fuse box actually doing the work. I didn't want to cut into the nicely done dash, but what the hey. Nice thing is that I'll have plenty of room to take car of the switch panel from the back side should it need attention.
