One of two things I dreaded, the speedometer. Wiring not bad at all just getting this thing mounted was a real b, well y'all get the idea.

After a little bundling of wires the rats nest is a little neater. Just need to finish tucking these things up out of the way.

Thumbs up Success !!!
Decided as I was etting ready to call it a night to try the lighting. It actually works ! The 3rd pic may be hard to see but the dash lights are on & work properly. Turn signals, 4-ways & indicators work, too. Oh yea, parking lights are a go & starter turns the engine over. Didn't check brake lights as there is no fluid in the system right now.

Wiring's done. Just some very minor things to wrap up.
Final tally on this part of this build:
Hrs dedicated to wiring: 70 (at least !)
Zip ties used : 150+
Cuss words uttered : too many to count

Also, much pain in the **,,,back & legs (getting old sucks !)
Great satisfaction that it all (well most all) worked 1st time.
And lastly,,,,,I'm sure the guys that have done this many times
before will attest to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You WILL have wire left over

All-in-all this was actually pretty painless (except as see above)
& pretty fun to boot.
