More progress - must show off

Over the Christmas break I was able to find some time for therapy , so I installed the wiring harness in cab , under the hood and run out for the lights when I get the fenders done

Which begs the question, "Why is it showing 93 kph sitting in the shop?"

Thanks Guys . The speedo is an electronic unit , The radio is brand new from Antique Auto Radio's it has FM and a cord for those IPod thingees , The Paint is Tremclad green enamel with some enamel reducer and enamel hardener . No fancy paint jobs for Ian's first set of wheels . Just in case he scratches it and makes Dad cry .

I installed a forced air furnace in the garage with a setback thermostat . Most of the time it sits at 41deg F (as low as it goes) when I want to work I just crank it up to 65 and it sets back after 2 hours (it's also the dog house for my Labs)
