Hey guys, I'm new here but been keeping up with you for a while. I've been building a 42 Ford rat truck for the last year or so and I'm not far from having it ready to go. I haven't taken pictures of the build through all of its stages like some others and I can't offer much as far as that goes.
I've noticed that alot of questions come up about what wiring harness to use and so forth, so I thought it may be beneficial to show what the underemployed do when they have more time than money.
I've used a Painless Wiring kit before and felt the quality was top notch, however, I felt as though I spent a bunch of money on it just for someone to label the wires for me. I hope I can show you guys a few tricks that may help and I hope that anyone else out there with input on this to please comment or share............I have already missed a few things, so the comments will help keep this all straight.
I started with a fuse box/panel from an 81Chevy Truck. I took all of the wiring and plugs inside the cab that was attached to the fuse box. I paid $10 for it and felt raped, but I needed it to get started.
