Dateline - 04/20/2013 - Another full day of working on wiring. Boy-o-boy is this getting old! The good news is that I've rerouted all the wires the way I want them, and laced them all together. I left off with making up the wires for the switches. I know how long they need to be and have them all ready to go, but ran out of steam at 5:00 pm. So now, all I need to do is make up the switch connectors. I do need to do some rewire for the instrument lights because I bought a digital dimmer control, but that shouldn't take too long. I still have to sort out the wires running to the trunk on the drivers side of the car. I also need to mount my new fuse block in the trunk. But it's coming down to brass tacks now.
After I got done working on wiring, I went into the house and did some more work on the rear air recirculation box. Several posts ago I reported that I scrubbed away a great deal of the rust and fiber glassed the holes. This weekend I put a nice clear coat of resin to fill in any gaps. I also took about the three remaining flapper doors and cleaned then up and rust sealed them. I need to make one flapper door out of some sheet steel, then find a good replacement fabric for the hinges. Yes, the original used a rubber impregnated silk as a hinge! I think I'm going to get a good ripstop nylon or Kevlar.
Well, that's it for this weekend!
