I've been working on finishing the wiring harness, simple eight circuit. I'm using a lot of pieces from the '64 Wildcat I got the steering column from, the ignition, dimmer, turn signal, and brake light switches.

I'm really liking your '51 Coupe, looks freakin' mean.
Mines a '50 2dr. sedan, 3" chop, decked, shaved, tilt clip, blown SBC, airride, custom frame, & more.
 
I've been making some good progress on the Stude, got the front clip painted and rebuilt the headlight buckets, finished the dash wiring, and got the rear bumper installed.

I had some help stop by so I got the front clip on and finished up the wiring.
