[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16537205, member: 70025"] I'm still waiting for parts to finish certain this up. So, I decided to continue working on figuring out the wiring aspect of this build. I purchased some shrink tubing, colored wires and a colored wiring diagram. The colored wire seems like it is going to make things a lot easier. Most local automotive parts stores just carry the basic color wires. My brother told me that when he wired his car he used the automotive parts store wires and when he started his car the first time he got some wires crossed because they were a standard color and he ended up melting a bunch of his new electrical wiring set up. I want to avoid that situation. I found a website that has colored wire. It is "NOT" OEM style. My original wire has a solid color and then a straight stripe on it. The wire I found has a solid color with the stripe color wrapped around it like a candy cane. This is no problem for me as I'm not going for a factory look. I'm more interested in the wire having the similar color pattern as my factory wires. I also ordered some various weather pack connectors. I think it will be easier to wire this thing up if I can plug and unplug wiring harnesses. Here is the wiring diagram I purchased. This is VERY easy to read and understand. It's been a great help in understanding the way this car is wired. For those who may be interested I got this from [URL='http://www.calssiccarwiring.com']www.calssiccarwiring.com[/URL].

[ATTACH=full]1676414[/ATTACH] I did a little more work on my custom electrical panel. I also mounted new wires/relays for my electric fans and fuel pump (the old ones were ugly LOL).

These billet aluminum hinges are amazing. VERY smooth operation and a ton of adjustments built in.
