so it starts off like this i bought the car from a guy down here outside of houston that was his brothers who had been in a motorcycle crash and didnt make it . and in my opinion was in the middle of making a masterpeice.well the body and the engine are 95% complete . the interior is gutted but it came with everything to go back in it and looks like he went all out.there is no electrical at all, so thats where im going to start it has a painless harness p/n20104 . after that the sound deadner is going on but i will get to that at a later time . looks like there are three parts to the painless harness,engine/headlight group ....dash group...and the rear light group. so first step i guess is to lay it out and the mount the fuse block . any and all help is greatly needed/wanted and i will be posting pics every step of the way. the guys i spoke with earlier said photobucket was the way to go so here its.

yep the garage is way to small ,wife isnt to happy about having to park outside but she will get use to it  :shruggy: and im going with all black on the inside per to previous owner has already bought all new door panels and seats,carpet all the goodies in black. i also have the sound deadner stuff to install and have no idea how to do it . im planning on doing the harness in the next couple days so i have been trying to gather up as much info on the site from others who have done the painless or painful wire harness.
