Darren, I thank you. There is no rush i still have to clean and retape the other harnesses. When i bought the car everything was apart but left out in the open, not being covered everything got weathered. So i am taking it 1 step at atime. I will get you pic some time today (my son is returning home today). I thought the purple wire might be for the rear def the car does have one. The red wire does come out of the plastic channel going forward, it might plug into the fuse panel, the thing is where the red wire goes into the connector it pigtaials out with a black wire that has been sniped. As far as black wires there are no continuous black wires involved, there are only 2 pieces of black wire that have been sniped off. 1 from the red pigtailed and the other continuing from the yellow out the back. Darren thank you for all the help. I looked at the main harness last night and it is a basket case i think i counted about 15 wires sniped, and the fuse panel is pretty crudy. Hopefully they will be speaker wires. So i might just send that out to a rebuilder. I do have a few parts cars but one harness is ripped to shreds, the other doesnt have the options this one has.

Hello All, up to cleaning and retaping my wiring harnesses. I am up to the cab section in the plastic 2" harness, that runs under the rug from front to back. Like everyone of the harnesses, wires have been cut and or missing. On this section there are 3 wires that have been sniped. First one in front of car red in color goes thru an inline fuse comes out to a push connector and another red line comes out of that connector (pigtail) about 3" thats where it is sniped. Where does it go? Also at the rear i have a purple wire that runs from the front to the back but after exiting plastic harness it goes to a connector and comes out other side about 3" and is sniped. 3rd wire is yellow also runs from front to back and comes out the end of the plastic harness, goes into a conector but when it comes out the wire is black about 6" long and then sniped. I am sorry, i do have pics but desk comp is down and i am on my sons laptop.Shhhhhhh Thanks for any and all help.

Always liked the stance and the color of your car Paul

Hey Guys i just checked my build sheets on the 71 SS's on has b94 and b95 both ext ss trim lower and upper. The other car has all 3, b93 DOOR EDGE GUARDS b94,and b95 also ext ss trim upper and lower. Hope this helps Willie

Thanks Guys, It wasnt that hard, but i have to say the sandblaster is the key.

How do i put up the dancing bananas? I just posted pics without grabbing my son. HAHA

Redid the steering wheel and column last weekend

Larry, the guy said it was great stuff. I just could not justify the cost for only the steering wheel. So i cheeped out rather than letting the unused portion just sit on the shelf. Dennis, its funny because, yes i did it all myself but i had to grab my son so he could post the pics here.LOL I am so comp challenged its truly ashame. Thanks guys first one i did, I did break the buzzer switch cleaning it. Had to take it out of a parts car.

Larry went to the paint supplier and he knew of the Dupont resin but doesnt stock it. He also said it would be expensive, i asked him how much, he said about $70. I thought that was a bit much for what i wanted and needed it for. He hooked me up with something that all the paint restorers use SEM color coat for about $15. I think it looks great. Thanks for the help Willie

After

Redoing the steering wheel of the 72 custom. Its code NK2 vinyl covered. Do i paint it with plastic paint or do i get the dye and dye it? Also what color black do i use for the column, gloss or satin? Thanks Willie

Joe do you have the pics up on your site?

Thanks Joe, i think i will pass. I am still looking for a rust free left side. So give me a shout if you come across one. Thanks Willie

I started to put front end back together. Upper and lower control arms, springs, shocks, spindels are all in. I have to paint sway bar, tie rods, center link, and steering box in the morning.

Kelly Nice job. I went through the same thing as you on the body, 1 thing after the next. I havent even started the motor yet, i am sure that will be fun. Like Vaughn said hang in there, you have great progress going, keep it up!!!

Hey Joe, What kind of shape is the left side in???
