I found an old Nova console harness kicking around here yesterday and robbed the plug and some terminals from it. I have now added a tan wire to extend the fuel tank wire up to the new fuel gauge in the dash, but also need to extend a pink 12V ign lead to it. As luck would have it, I have every color wire here but pink. I spent an hour running around looking for more wire yesterday and came up short locally, so I'm headed into the city this morning to see if I can find some pink ignition wire to run under the dash.
I need some for this plug and also need to run some pink for a couple of other hidden objectives. It's the little details that eat up your time I'm telling you. (lol)

I'm sorry but that's waaaay too professional looking for a true Day2 look. Back in the actual Day2 era (or as we Boomers say, IN MY DAY...) there would be half-a-dozen, fully ripped out carpet threads that were caught on the drill when you tried to drill screw holes for the shifter boot. And add to that a really uneven sledge hammered/peeled back wall of sheet metal forming the side of the transmission hump to add to the "authentic mess".

I've got several large boxes full of wiring harnesses from old cars. If you were closer I would gladly cut out a pink wire for you.
The dates have been set for SCR 24. Are you going to try to bring this car down for the event? It would be great to see this car go down the track at Beech Bend.

I've had my share of threads wrapped around my own drill bits. Actually did one on the previous carpet from this car as I drilled the holes for the carpet plate and thought I was clear of the edge...but wasn't. It made a nice little run in a brand new carpet LOL. My problem now is that with age I have become anal and a lot fussier about my schtuff. Come to think of it...I actually have someone to thank for making me as anal as I have become. Yesterday as I took those pictures I was saying to myself. I'll need to put a new blade in the knife and trim a small spot right under the edge of that chrome ring so I can miss hitting that carpet. I'll probably even use a pilot sleeve to make sure I don't catch it. Quote:

Wires were spliced, the fuel gauge is installed into the cluster and the dash is all back together with the dash pad and the glove box liner back in place. Now to get back out there and install the gauges under the dash.

Sneak a Peek...
I got sidetracked a little tonight and banged in the rear seat so I could see what was going to look like. Also wanted to see if a Lakewood bar would interfere with what's going on here and I think it would kill the pattern on the houndstooth where the rear leg would need to fit in between the seat folds. . Suffice to say...roll bar is out on this one. I have to say though...I am liking the colors here. The seat and the side panels are going to need a little more fitting and tweaking before they are ready to go in for good but it won't be long now.
