If you are referring to me, I haven't started one on Lat-g yet, I probably should. I do have one at pt.com: http://www.pro-touring.com/showthrea...g-quot-69-Dart. I'll work on the Lat-g thread when I get a chance.

What wheels are those? (Camaro) They are very nice...Gives the car a very Euro look that i think is somethink i like seeing on PT cars. It gives it a high end feel.

Very nice. Love the all business shifter too!

Agree with both of ya! :thumbsup:

I want a clean look but am not overwhelmed...just waiting on parts is getting me antsy! :willy:

GregWeld 04-06-2011 07:43 AM

Sorting and routing one wire at a time doesn't mean you have to terminate it until you have the bundle together and routed and tied etc. The mistake is to terminate it before you've made your runs and have everything tied down.

Trust me - I've built and or restored 20+ cars. If you just handle and worry about one wire at a time - it's a whole lot less "daunting" task. Most people go wire crazy staring at that batch of spaghetti and can't even get started. My statement about one wire at a time is to help someone get started. Grab one wire - route it - LOOSELY - leave the wire ties BIG/loose but be able to create a "route" and a associated hanger. They can be cut off and changed as needed. Run one wire to it's location - and LABEL IT. Once the loom is established you can go back and tighten things up.

If you have a new loom -- it helps to lay it out on the floor - running common wires in a bundle with wire ties -- such as the dash/taillights/engine etc - then you can lay it up in the car and have big "general" runs which can then be worked on individually.

I'm rewiring my brother in laws 69 Camaro with a Hiway 22 kit (American Autowire) and it will take me two days and will be completely done. There is a method to doing this but anyone can do it.

I havn't posted in quite a while, been busy with teenage sons and life in general. But here's the latest of my garage project. It's almost back together enough to drive around to block before I blow it all back apart to set up the LS1 in the subframe and send it off for powdercoating. Small block is a well built 377, but I scored a deal I couldn't pass up for an LS1 takeout complete with harness and ECU. I'll bolt that to my ST10 tranny with a mecloed bellhousing. Anyway, heres a few pics.... Anybody in the market for a 377?

OK, Here is my home project. It will probably be 95% home built by the time I'm done, the only exceptions will be some upholstery, like headliner and dash pad. It's my first complete build, but hopefully won't be my last.

Does a Man Cave build count? LOL I do all my own work, and I am only using tools that most people have in their garages.

I've done as much as possible at home in the garage. Paint/body trans rebuild and rearend setup (I installed everything though) are the exceptions. Still a long ways to go to get it to PT form.
