I feel I have to balance between having the car other people would want (or buy) and having the car I want.

This time round I am doing the car I want. Something that is unique to me. A bit like you and your RoadRunner Dunc.

If I saw your wing car anywhere I would know who's it was. Or at least who built it even if someone else was standing next to it saying they own it.

If I restored my car to original and went to a show in the USA I could park it up and not be able to find it again because there would be a thousand Challengers there looking exactly the same.

Nope. We are only here once. And recently I nearly wasn't. So stuff it. I am doing it my way.

Spot on Dave, that's what I'm doing this time, before I get too old

If all cars were meant to be the same there would never have been an options list .

I know its been said before but those door cards do look good..
Do it your way!!!I`m all for that. to any one who dont like it..

The Painless kit looks a bit scary when you first take it out of the box.

But it does not look so bad when you lay it out into its various sections.

Here are the various bits in roughly the area they need to be in.

This in itself took some time last night and I may change which way one or two wires route as it comes together.

Painless do help a lot in that each wire is labled and numbered all along its length.

That looks scary to me, electrics/wiring is voodoo where i'm concerned.

Looks good, Dave.

Patience is the key here.

I am going to end up with a bald patch due to the amount of head scratching I am doing.

Dont tell Simon that we said wiring was easy

My mate used a universal kit for his 32 Ford, seemed a nice kit, as you say I like the way each wire is marked along its entirety with its identity.

MSD Digi system looks nice settled in the engine bay, good piece of kit too

It is a shame they don't supply a sticker on the MSD you can turn the other way up. But I wanted to be able to access the rpm limiter pots. I wouldn't be even able to see them if I put it the other way around.
I will probably remove it or cover it with something else.

Nifty air cleaner hold downs. Not noticed them before

I thought "Painless" was very expensive for what you got, and what you got did not meet my needs; so I am scratch building my wiring solution for the Barracuda.

However, I understand that for many people this is the best way forward.

Keep up the good work, Dave.

I think if I was doing something more simple like a hot rod I would consider doing a scratch built one.

But for a first effort and with the complexity of some of the things I will be doing this seemed a good starting point for just over £200.
