Re: Project '86

Looks great! Squares are definitely growing on me...especially since my wife really liked one she saw the other day that was bagged....always a good thing to have my wife on board with a project

Re: Project '86

That logo looks good, but it looks a little fordish with the oval. Maybe if you put inside a chevy bowtie emblem... Just my $0.02. lol It still looks good.

Okay, I am stupid. The holes on the end are for the headlight and dimmer switches. Idiot....

What usually goes in the middle? Ignition?

The center mount is for the ignition. Yea, I got two. When I ordered it you can't tell how big it is and I thought the switch mounted in the center and the side holes were mounting holes for the plate. I had two switches so I got two. I am keeping the one with the LEDs and my buddy is going to use the other one in his 55 Ford.

It is a 12 circuit harness, so just the basics. It is branded as Speedway Motors and was $130
