I got the gas tank sending unit coming in the mail tomorrow. I will install it and that job will be behind me. another job completed. TOMORROW or Tuesday

[gdavis]

Today, I worked on the firewall patch under the circuit panel box. It came out ok, not the best work I have done but ok. Mounted the fuse panel and ran a few wires to the rear of the truck. I have to put some wire protectors on the wires to the rear. I connected the tail lights and back up lights and used shirk tubing over the butt connectors as you can see in the pictures. I still have to connect the clearance lights on the rear before I put the wire protectors on them.

Today, I finished with the rear of the truck except for the tag light. Waiting for the bumper before I can do that light. I attached the wire to the truck rail today and made some grounding block and a 12V block. To make the connections easier for the small stuff. As you can see in the pictures.

Well done more wiring today. Got the front lights almost finished. I also got my new sending unit for the gas tank. A two line to replace the one line that came with the tank.
picture # 1 is the wire loom finished
picture # 2 is the wire for the engine compartment yet done.
picture # 3 is the new sending unit for the Camaro gas tank.

today I pulled the gas tank back off the truck and replaced the sending unit with a two line sending unit. Made some rubber lines to fit the new sending unit. and done a little more on the wiring a slow process it is.

Thanks a lot. seen your seat it look good.

[gdavis]

Today I done some more on the wiring. It is coming alone real nice. I am starting on the safety switch/back up switch. Tracing the wire down isn't no fun.

[gdavis]

More pictures. As you can see I have a lot of extra circuits left over. I might use in the future

[gdavis]

worked on the alt wires today and got them buttoned up. Now I need the dash to be done. Maybe Monday I will have that. I hope.

[70LonghornCST]

Good progress. Keep it up!

[Number98]

Its really coming together, looking good!

[gdavis]

thanks number98 and Richard for you comments they are always welcome.George

Tomorrow I have a friend that is coming over and helping with the wiring harness, I got the front and rear lights all connected. We will be working on the dash and switches. Wish us luck.

[gdavis]

Today A friend came over and we buttoned up the ing switch, wiper switch, head light switch, back up light switch and half of the wire that goes to the dash cluster. I hope to have them done in a day or two. Tomorrow I will solder wires together.

Looks like you are cranking right along... Looks great...

[gdavis]

started soldering up the connections and shorten the wires and cleaning up the rats nest under the dash. Got the dash all wired and looking good . too cold to work out side today. Last night it got down to 29. too cold for these old bones. I can be thankful that it doesn't snow here like up north.

[gdavis]

I got all the wiring done, I think. I will test the wiring in a day or two. I am getting a little discouraged. Sometimes I think I would be better off selling this project. But I guess I better hold on to it. I hope to order my rear bumper this week. Each week there seems to be something else I need.

[Elliot949]

Man I get it... about the time we think we have it all figured out the truck throws another curve ball at ya... Keep the chin up... It really does look like you are on the downside of the hill... I am only half way up the hill... LOL

George, did you get the dash panel plug figured out? I haven't had a chance to look into the differences in years. If you got it your the man!
You do seem bummed though, why the downer? Your truck is looking great! Your getting so close! It will a nice ride really soon.

[swamp rat]

George i'd so much like to be where your at now, way too close to give up!

[Dean'smeanmachine]

that truck is looking great

[gdavis]

elliot949, zicc1835, colgad, swamprat, dean'smeanmachine, thanks for the comments. weather is changing and the old girl sits and the time to work on her is always taking the back seat. But one day I will have a driver. I went up state with a friend this week in and we drove his old truck. 1974 square body. was a pleasant trip, except for the rain all the time I was gone.
