Underhood Wiring Done!

All the underhood wiring is complete unless I run into something that needs to be repaired or modified, or if I decide to add another circuit. It was a slow process, but I'm pleased with the results so far.

I also got a start on the interior wiring. I'm laying out the wire bundle routing and making hook-up charts and plug maps. Most of this part of the wiring should be a bit easier, but then I've said that before and regretted it!

This phase will require installing the console and dashboard, so I'll have some design problems to resolve during installation. I've been putting that part off until I was confident the basic structure would work out, and I think it will with minor tweaks.

Got a few photos, but had the usual camera issues.

Glacier Speed!

I keep thinking that I will be able to work on the car if I just finish one more thing for my wife, but she always seems to find more projects to replace what I finish.

Last week it was storage shelves in her studio for hundreds of bottles of resin colors and inks. She also ordered two unassembled drawer cabinets and asked for more lights in her work area, so those things got done, but little was accomplished in my car wiring. Add 100*F heat and the weekly yard work, and...well, you get the idea.

I did get a couple more small bundles routed and I actually began terminating wires at the bulkhead connector, though you can't really tell much from the pictures. The horns finally arrived, so I got them installed. Won't be long before I can install the fenders!


Good intentions are cheap, but I seriously intend to accomplish more next week!
