The Brick, 1972 Dodge Dart Custom
Thanks man - I keep plugging along. A couple of friends and I are in the process of shaving the door handles and installing aftermarket power windows......way too much wiring for my blood. :)
Interior Door panel redo - I recut the actual panels in 1/4 inch MDF. I had to create some spacing for the power window motors. The switches are going into the center of the dash, in my radio "delete" plate. The 68-72 4 door use the same armrests front and rear and since I could not locate my original bases, I picked up a full set from Mr Moparts. I shot the bases in the same GY4 golden tan that I have on the rest of the interior. I also picked up new defroster vents that are going in as I finish up the dash wiring for the remote setup for the shaved door handles.
I carpeted the kick panels to match the new colors of the interior. Nice touch and super easy to do. The speaker mounts actually aim the speakers toward the passenger compartment and up towards the passenger. Nifty ABS kit I picked up from an online source. Made mounting the speakers a lot easier than having to cut the panels.
Here is the mess of relays I am using for the power windows and door solenoids for the shaved door handles. 2 for each window (8 total), 4 for the solenoids, and 1 for the trunk release I have yet to pick up.
Relocated the ballast resistor to the fender well, and mounted the relays to the firewall and the fender. I am putting in a fused distribution point so that I have a centralized point to fuse and distro power to all of these accessories.
Been plinking away at this for the past few Sundays. Tomorrow, I hope to have the final wiring done in the doors, and then mount the window motors before finishing the door panels.
