    This is the only other picture I have of when the rail was off. Were you looking for something inparticular?

    As long as you're not stripping wires out of the harness, the wiring is actually the easiest part.

    No. Just wanted to know if you had any other pics to view. I'm thinking about doing the same to mine. Thanks.

    ***UPDATED***

    I've finally made some progress and got all the wiring straight, and a base idle tune in the car. The doors, fenders, bumpers, and hood went on yesterday. By the end of next week the car should be wet sanded and buffed. Now for all the little bs trim work.

    Very nice. I can't wait to get mine torn down and get started on it's rebuild. I like what you did with the suspension and wheels/tires. Considering I've got a 7.5 in mine, trx's, and the current brakes are in need of total replacement I may look into the same thing.

    Great job on the resto, the car looks great in white!

    Curios why you didn't tuck and hide all the wiring in the engine bay though.

    I'm not into the smooth engine compartments. I like seeing the wiring...just nice and clean. I want people who don't really know what they're looking at to think it is a factory setup.

    **UPDATED**

    The car is wet sanded/buffed. The glass is in, and 99% of the trim is painted. The side skirts and rear valance went on today (I hate how aftermarket crap fits).

    I still have to redo the tail lights, side moldings, quarter window moldings and drip rail moldings, then its on to the interior.
