That is nicely done, looks great, good idea, good work. Thanks for posting. I think I might steal it for another problem child project I have.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is going to work. Once you get all the wires (flashers and relays ?) on there that have to flex and bent with the door it will be difficult.

On my F1 I did a under the seat drawer that looked good but was awkward.

I have a truck with the fuse box and other electronics in the drivers side kick panel, I mounted a piece of 1/8 aluminum on some of the fender mount bolts, I used slightly longer bolts and mount the aluminum on the part sticking out with a extra nut. I used I think a 1 1/2" or so PVC male adapter to pass the wires through that exit under the truck.

So now I’m not sure if I’m gonna put it in a kick panel. I want to keep it hidden. But EZ wire makes some other under dash wires very short so I would have to lengthen them. The steering column wires, I can make work. But the pre-wired ignition plugs I would have to relocate the key to the left-hand side of the dash. And then there’s a few other wires that would be running up to the gauge panel. I feel like they’re gonna be short as well.
