Not much eye candy in this update. I spent all day Saturday wiring the interior. Still working on the power steering/hydroboost lines saga too.

I ran a bunch of wires between the tunnel and the carpet - seat power, amp turn on signal wire, amp sound wire, tach signal wire, speed signal wire, power wires to the PCM, PCM ground. I forgot to add in a couple switched power wires since I'm installing relays in my console for the check engine and brake warning indicator lights on my cluster though.

Having my dad to help me on this is huge. He and I combine our skills and experience and come up with solutions to things that we wouldn't come up with on our own. For instance, I knew from our experience on his truck that it would be nice to have a ground buss because we kept coming up with more ground wires to be connected and kept having to find another spot for them. So I bought a ground buss and a switched power buss for mine and we installed them in the dash. Now I have plenty of ground and switched power room.

I also took a picture while the sun was hitting the fender. The pictures just don't quite show how vivid this blue is.

I'm continuing to work on my pressure line from the hydroboost to the gear. The issue I'm having is that there is very little clearance between the gear and the inner fender, so it has to be a very tight bend to make it work. I've gone through two iterations of the line so far and ordered another stock line yesterday to see if it has a tighter bend than the one NAPA gave me. One of our local NAPA's has a guy that makes brake and power steering lines and I'm sure he's tired of seeing me in there by now.

I'm also taking my door locks and ignition core to a local locksmith to see if they can re-key the locks so I can use the new keys from the American Autowire kit.
