Just about combed through the mass of wires in my "Hot Rod Wires" 12 circuit harness. I want to Get her where I can crank with key by days end. Looks pretty good so far. The hard part was definately routing wires where they didn't show as much as possible.
Has anyone run across where you can get a good deal on dynamat or simular products?
I will add more pics as soon as there's something to see. (Wires not very interesting......)

River City rods & customs (our sponsor, 1kool56) is a dealer for lizard skin if you want to spray it in. That's what Mike used in his '72, and he liked it. If you would rather have something like Dynamat, Micheal Marrable in Calhoun is a dealer and sells some stuff that looks just like Dynamat. I can't remember the name of it at the moment. He told me that he could get me a roll, which would be more than enough to do my truck, for about $150 if I remember correctly.

It's the little details I think are the coolest!! I had pretty clean engine except for the one wire going to alternator. So I put this together out of fuel line.... I think it works pretty wellImage

I spent most of the day chasing Gremlins! I was planning on painting inner fender wells and hanging font sheetmetal but got some kind of contamination on them that caused paint to crinkle up in places like someone hit it with stripper. Anyways after a few tries it came out pretty good. here's finished result.ImageImage

It definately is an art to getting paint to do right. Learn something every time. Not as easy as outlawc makes it look.

You got that right! :lol: I've been playing with paint and bodywork all my life and still learn something new every time I do it. I think it just comes natural to him or something. :lol:
