Purplehaze Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Okay, so I didn't get a lot done this week, it was hot everywhere, and for me, that means overtime! Which may mean less time to work on the ride, but also means more money! So who can say no to that? Especially @ +$25/hr!!!! But I did manage to get a little work in, so here it is. We are truly getting close now First up, some test fitting. After a little sanding, more test fits... A little spot putty action And here are a few shots to show what I found when buying wire. Just cause it says it's 14g, doesn't mean it is. The smaller wire is supposed to be 14g, the larger is 16/2 audio cable. It's funny how 16g is bigger than 14g... So the next step was to cut groves into the backside of the panels, for the wires to lay in. Done Then some paint, just cause it looks better to me... Then next up was to twist 4 wires together for the LED's. "Meade style" Worked great! I just used a clamp and a fence to hold the other end My "little helper" holding the drill while I tape and wire tie. Ended up with this Stay tuned, more to come!

Purplehaze Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Next up is wiring. I decided to completely start with fresh new everything. Not that it was done wrong the first time, it was just getting too busy under the dash, and it was hard to tell what was going on. Heaven forbid I would have ever had to track down a problem, it w/ have been fun. So, like everything else, it's out with the old, and in with the new. This has got to go... I'm embarrassed to have done this, must have been in a hurry and out of connectors And this... "Little helper" is back for more fun! Fun fun fun! No seriously, I love me some wiring! He's hard at it... And last but not least, more sanding and priming Just after they were sprayed Then I went ahead and painted inside. Again, it just looks better... And I bought some of this... SQ FTW!!! Then I started wiring the door panels. The wire will just fit through the hole, then I glued the hell out of it with gorilla glue. And glued to the backside. (Tape is temp) And that is where I am now. I need to finish wiring the door panels, install polly-fil, plexi window, and vinyl. I ordered 4 yards of the good stuff, and a gallon of glue, so as soon as that comes in, I plan on attempting to wrap these myself. I also have an upholstery guy on standby, so if this doesn't work, they will be wrapped by him. Thing is, he will use seams, and I'm hoping to go seamless, so we will see. Either way, they will be getting wrapped soon, I promise! Thanks for looking, stay tuned for much more to come!

scooter99 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Nice freaking progress my friend! They're looking great! If I hadn't already bought 14ga stinger twisted, I'd be seriously looking into that wire you have. Keep up the great work!
