Thanks! Tying off some things so I don't need to bend over the fenders too much when I reinstall the front clip.

I had alternator wiring going up the factory brown generator wire, then from there through the cab, back down with the starter wire, to the starter terminal. I decided i needed a larger gauge and would increase reliability by running the wire around the block directly to the starter instead. I made some clean back wires with black shrink wrap, and added a dust cap to finish the job.

I hate colored insulators on crimps and always remove them!! One fast way to make your build look more clean and professional is to do away with blue, yellow, a red plastic tidbits on your wiring. Black shrinkwrap is cheap but makes your work look expensive!
