Today, It was such a nice warm day, I decided to was the old girl. Boy was she dirty. Setting under the canopy one would think it would at least stay a little cleaner.

I finally got the wiring harness on the way. It should be delivered on Nov 5th thru Nov 12
I also got the dual line sending unit for my Camaro gas tank. delivery date is Nov. 10

I ordered a washer bottle from a fellow board member, Thanks Jess
Tomorrow I will pull the bench seat. It will make the wiring a lot easier to do. Can't wait till I start the wiring. A long time coming. This is my third year working on the old girl.

I got plans in starting my wiring next week. Got a guy from the Tampa area going to help. He is really a stand up guy. Glad to see that there is still some good people out there. I have meet a lot of guys here on this board and I only had problems with a couple. Al. and LA. area. I have sold and bought all over the US.

Today, the big brown truck came with my wiring harness. The mail man delivered the washer bottle also. So, some parts did come in.

[gdavis]

Today I started wiring the truck. Just getting everything in order to start running wires to the front and back. The kit came with a lot of extra circuits that I want be using right now. So I rolled the up and I will tie the up under the dash out of the way for now.
such as
power antenna
power door locks
power windows
electric fan
and a few others that I can't remember right off hand.

I had to weld up the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 square hole in the fire wall also. My fuse block mounts to the fire wall not thru the wall like originally. So as you can see I hade to apply some bondo to make the hole disappear. Also here is the mounted washer bottle that came in the mail.

I received the brake pedal and bezel in the mail today.

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.

[gdavis]

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.

[gdavis]

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.

[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.

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.
