Spent a couple of hours in the blast cabinet on my hinges, a bit of paint and brand new. Upgrading the wiring to add a new panel. My dash didn't fair so well in the southern heat, recovering that and the door panels in black and adding black visors. Taking some blue out, add more black and silver.

Been down with migraines again, on average now 5 to 7 a day so not much happening in the shop. I'm going to a new doc. in the new year to see about an electrical implant to try and stop them. Damn headaches are messing up my shop time. I did find the rest of my wiring and it doesn't look to bad. It's hard to concentrate on detailed stuff with a headache. I just keep going and push on, I want a driver not a project waiting to be driven. How can you tell I've a couple of crappy weeks.

Re: 67 long box
 

Sorry to hear about your headaches! Wiring would be very tough to do with a migrane.
Hopefully the new Doc will help.

Re: 67 long box
 

A Merry Christmas to all my fellow builders and may Santa bring ya some new toys or parts for the build.
HO HO HO Derek.

Re: 67 long box
 

Just went thru the build quickly , very nice! I have a friend out your way , wanting some rocker work done on a real nice 68 swb , any interest in a little side work?

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks I try not to take on other work due to health problems, but I'd be willing to talk to him or work him through the job. My shop isn't big enough to hold another truck either. Some times the rocker repair can be more involved than what's seen on the outside.

Re: 67 long box
 

No problem , thought I would ask. He has asked me , just a little to busy with my own fleet, and it's hard to find metal work of your quality up here.

Re: 67 long box
 

back at the wiring after a month sick, got the new used fuse block to add in. Did the headlight relays, alternator switch to internal, HEI wired, added another 10ga wire from the battery to more interior power. nice box of spare wire going on from old projects.

Re: 67 long box
 

adding in some wires, taming the hood seal to fit, I can't believe the change it's under gone

Re: 67 long box
 

looks nice!

Re: 67 long box
 

repurposed the voltage reg. to a breaker holder. weather proof and looks stock. This will replace the fuseable links from the starter.

Re: 67 long box
 

I tucked the wires across the floor edge and into it.

Re: 67 long box
 

found bulkheads for the washer hoses to move them off the firewall. Model airplane fuel tank fittings.

Re: 67 long box
 

That's a great idea with rc fittings! I wanted to clean up the routing as well. It's just weird that gm routed it so messy from the factory.

Re: 67 long box
 

just add the newer fuse block and I'm feeling happy. Yup RC plane parts, I've taken most the clutter off the firewall.

Re: 67 long box
 

Taking a break from wiring and put the washer through the cowl from the inside. Now to use the holes from the washer hoses on the firewall by adding two more holes to make 4 identical location holes to light up the engine bay. LED spot lighting. Started prepping for vintage air install to add wiring to my harness.

Re: 67 long box
 

almost ready to install again. too many wires, still have the alarm, electric door locks with remote open, power window wiring, stereo, usb charge ports. Now it seems like I'm just starting to wire. Sending unit came in and installed.

Re: 67 long box
 

Wondering where the fuseblock is from. I need one myself

Re: 67 long box
 

1980-87 chevy truck, van, monte, camero, most gm of those years. T
his one is 84 truck

Re: 67 long box
 

LED lights turned out perfect

Re: 67 long box
 

looking good.

Re: 67 long box
 

power window and lock relays controlled by momentary push button switches. No rocker switches, something different. Diodes to stop reverse ground flow to relays from alarm output and button to relay trigger.

Re: 67 long box
 

Nice work! I really like how you are repurposing the voltage regulator

Re: 67 long box
 

Thanks, that reg box holds the two breakers perfect and still looks like it could have been there from factory.

Re: 67 long box
 

Nice work- All of this electrical, I'd have thrown up and passed out by now.
