Milestones, they help keep you motivated.
Set mini-goals along the way and you'll feel good when you meet them. Makes you feel like you are accomplishing something.
I posted not too long ago I was going to wire Mater myself, and not buy a $480 harness.
I am excited to be able to report:
Dash lights work and dim.
High beam indicator light works (don't have headlights yet, have to rewire the buckets.)
Oil pressure gauge works.

Temp gauge sits at HOT when turned off (normal) and drops down below the scale (left) when turned on... BUT it didn't seem to move at all after running the truck for a few minutes... maybe it didn't warm up enough, or maybe my senders are not working?

Happy for little milestones....

 

Every drop of water eventually fills the bucket. Congratulations for a job well done.

 

Congrats Steve. So are you saying that you wire up my darkside 56' when ever I start to build it? Is that what Im hearing? How did the glovebox lock work out?
