    started rewiring wimpy today. Since I had him back up and running I haven't had time(or warm enough clothes) to do more than get just the basic ignition wiring done. I don't even have headlights working yet.

    I got a little mini fuse block from the junkyard off of a F150, my best guess was about a 97-99 since neither of my 2 trucks had this type of fuse block. I also grabbed a relay block while I was at it. It was kind of a modular deal so I split it in half since I only wanted a couple relays for the headlights.

    So now I'll have the low and high beams, starter switch feed, parking lights, brakes, and 1 extra probably for a power outlet. I'm planning on running relays for the low and high beams to give me a little more intensity out of the bulbs8)

    Today's plan is to get the basics back up and working so I can use Wimpy tomarrow if the 4-8" of white stuff actually gets here.



    Oh, I threw 1 picture of the new frame for the 68.
    Just waiting on warmer weather to start sandblasting again. I've had condensation problems in the garage and its starting to rust back up so I'm just going to wait until its warm enough to blast it and paint it in one or 2 days.

    Looks good. I saw the frame picture and thought this was the sorta project where you start a pretty minor thing and end up to a bare frame doing a frame off :shock:

    I'm guessing you got plenty of white stuff on the East side of the lake since we got ~6" in the windy city. My back hurts from shoveling :p
