Working on the wiring

[XcYZ]

I haven't posted anything for a while, and since it's Friday, here's an update. I'm working on the wiring and have almost all of it done except for the dash, I'm waiting on a few parts before I can start on that.

I'm using an American Autowire Classic Update kit and I'm extremely impressed with it. I'd highly recommend that kit to anyone that's redoing their wiring. I'm about done installing the Electric-Life power windows, and I think that may be the easiest install and wiring of anything I've ever installed. I picked up the AAW kit and EL power windows from Frank at GP Superstore. Thanks again, Frank! The only odd problem that I ran into with the wiring was that when I'd hit the brake lights, the front marker lights would come on. A broken turn signal switch was the cause, which I most likely broke it at some point when working on the car over the past few years. lol

I used a mix of Dynamat and, at Rupp's recommendation, some B-Quiet. After using both back to back, I prefer the B-Quiet. It's more compliant and a bit easier to work with.





I picked up a metripak connector kit to use in the harness and dash instead of using the orriginal style connectors.




I'm switching to Auto Meter Ultra-Lite II gauges that are all electric and full sweep. They use through the face LED lighting and look fantastic. I'm not ready to install them yet, but I just had to hook a couple up and check them out.






And here's the LED tail lights with reverse lights. I got creative so the parking/brake lights didn't bleed through the reverse light lense.
