Like you when you made that drop top. That is a TUN of work and endless hours. You have been their for certain Daminc. I saw some of your work and it is Really Really GOOD.

To give the devil his due, a company turned out the Cougar 'verts....of course, I'm not taking away from Jerry, he could build a Fox Cat vert out of a pound of steel, a twinkie, and 3 hours of light work, lol.

On the other hand, that tangle of wire scares the piss outta me just looking at it. But, GM does seem to have their wiring at a bit higher level than Ford. ;)

Thunder It gave me a stage 3 headache for sure. But when car companies run those wires like garbage it is not good looking under the hood. Wire tucking or hiding is the new craze. Some of the cars i see at shows have very few wires showing if any. I actually like doing this because my mind is shot. But if i mess up one wire the whole project could be a mess. Example the salt& pepper on the 5.0 is UGLY. I rewire it and shove it under the upper. It makes the engine bay much neater. Either way it is something that has to be written out and dun quite slowly and double checked. Just thought it would be a good talking point. Thanks

I agree, having all the wires tucked and hidden makes things much cleaner..and easier to keep clean, at that.

the only bad part of a wire tuck, aside from the time it takes to complete, is tracking electrical issues down the line.. other than that, it's great.. the good outweighs the minimal bad by a long shot

According to JR you have dun this stuff also. I know i am loosing my mind but i want something different and that means work. Like you when you made that drop top. That is a TUN of work and endless hours. You have been their for certain Daminc. I saw some of your work and it is Really Really GOOD.

Thanks Tom, but I didn't chop that top... Car Craft did that, and now I have to update it. I feel it could have been done a lot better then what they did.
I did actually re-builld most of my 87.
