Where did you find the 17 inch sprint car wheel, thats exactly what i want to run in my COE but a 15 i feel is to small and might look a little out of place. Nice job too, gonna be a very nice truck. John
John I think Speedway sells them. I got mine years ago from Gene Scott at PSI who has since passed away. They aren't too hard to find. Go for the hard rubber grip style. Bill
OK, thanks for the info Bill. Think i will get one from Speedway. Believe it or not Pete Chapouris and Jimmy shine will be here for our little local rod run in July. Jimmy came last year and had a blast. John
In the wiring pic i saw that magnifiying glass ,now that is what I call attention to detail . LOL Sweet ride,like the air cleaner was wondering what that would look like on a motor and it fits perfect with the rest of engine bay.Great Build !!! George
The mag glass really helps especially when they print black lettering on dark green wires! Don't blame me if the horn honks every time I hit the brake pedal!!!
A few progress pics. The Rebel Wire kit is a rear mount setup and I ran the wires in the floor trough so with a groove in the insulation they should be fairly flush. I ran the front and rear sections through the existing hole in the floor directly over the frame using stock wire clips to run down the frame.. The inner fender panels are going in thanks to some good pics from you guys. I used a slotted rubber trim from Steele around the edge for detail.
A few more. I'm grounding each light to the frame, which is grounded to the engine and body at the same place. To me, wiring is like the old joke about the thermos.."how do it know?"
nice work on the truck
Love the details
The only thing you get a nice ford racing valve cover, on your engine.(that is not ford)
And I got a 390fe and can get one. dammm you

Your brake fluid reservoir did you make that or did you buy it? What are your early thought on the Rebel Wiring Harness? Have you had to buy much extra in the way of connectors and such for it? Instructions pretty good? THanks Donald

.The remote res. came from Kugel. The rebel wire kit was the only rear mount kit I saw and I'm very pleased. There are some specialty connectors with the kit but the rest you will need to provide. Instructions are very good considering you are using a generic style kit.
