That is how old I am as I write this post. I had hoped to be able to start the car by tomorrow, but that won't happen. I lost too much time this spring on the windshield wipers. Maybe by the 4th of July; I am back to making good progress.

This week, I finally settled on the right wire twisting and soldering techniques, so the splices for the rear light branch were much easier.



I got all of those wires (brake lights, tail lights, fuel sender, grounds) run through the cockpit to the trunk area. There they sit til later in the build when the trunk gets put into place.





Now I am going back to work on engine wiring. There is SO much involved--battery, fusebox, ignition switch, ignition box, neutral safety switch, alternator, voltage regulator, starter motor, solenoid, ignition coil, distributor, carburetor choke. I am spending a LOT of time reading and trying to get it all straight in my head.
