Did Gary TIG it for you?

Yea, it's all chrome moly so it had to be TIG.

Yes I think so, I can't see me building another car like this one. Mind you I said that last time...

Nope, doing the whole lot from scratch, I'll make my own loom.

Nice work Blue....couple of questions...are you wiring it completely custom to the build or are you using the old loom/ wiring diagrams to make then adapt?....what wire specs are you using for each circuit and how did you decide on the wires to use??

Cheers Steve

I have no factory gauges or switches and very few original electrical items so not useing any of the original dash/ underbonnet loom. The whole thing will be of my own design, I size the wire by the amp load it has to carry. All cable will be modern lightweight thinwall cable of course...
It's not that bad a job really, all my gauges are mechanical and the only electrical add on's are line lock and fuel pump, the rest is lights, indicators, wipers etc, bit like wiring up a street rod really.
