Wow what a rebuild..................... Hope everything comes together for you. I am hoping someone on here can direct you to a re-pop wiring harness
or the likes. I hate it when some clown with a pair of wire dikes thinks he knows more than the factory did. Bummer .....
It all looks good to me bringing a old car back is a big job but there is lots of smart guys / gals on here to help. Welcome form the grand state of Texas

Yes this car has taken a lot more time than I had anticipated but getting closer now. As far as the wiring harness I got one of the American autowire kits specific for a bodies. It is u iversal for the earlier cars through the last but I just took the wires I didn't need out of the harness and bundled it back up. It has a modern fuse panel that mounts in the factory spot. Really nice harness but kind of pricey. I have the engine k frame front suspension and transmission all mounted up onto a dolly ready to roll under the car very soon. I figured I would get the master cylinder wiper motor etch all mounted up on the firewall first thing when I bring it back home Saturday. Then I think I will put the vintage air unit and the dash in next. I have had the dash redone and all the gauges etc about 1.5 years now sitting in the extra bedroom and I'm sure my wife will be happy to have it out of the way . I still have to get a radiator but was waiting until I get the engine in to see if I can fit a 3 row in or use an original. Also have to have a driveshaft made as the car came with a ford 8.8 rear end in it when I got it but the guy I bought it from kept the drive shaft. Aside from that just need a few odds and ends type trim parts.
Got some more work done this evening. Hood scoops on. Mirrors door handles and locks in. Spoiler bolted down.
Look super cool!!! Keep up the good work!!
Looks like you have a good helper!

He has been excited about this part of the resto getting to out the shinny stuff on! His little arms and hand came in handy getting the linkages on the door handles and locks couldn't have got them on without him.
So the engine and transmission went in nice and easy this weekend . Got the torsion bars and front suspension all hooked up this pm as well
