The only issue I saw was the low capacity wiring if I were have all lights on at the same time for an extended period.
Something would have melted I'm almost positive.

I'm keeping the OE wires for their color coding and connectors.
If I were to not wreck this beast, someone could work on it without me having to make wiring schematics.
It will be easy to follow my circuit breakers much easier than Fords' fusable links.

When I'm done...  there will only be about 20% factory wiring left anyhow.  Not much weight saving there if I were to just re-wire it myself.

My vagina is too cold in the shop to work long hours.
It's the concrete floor that kills my ankles and knees.
I'm slowly knocking the electrical out, and I'm half done with the fiberglass dash/instruments/circuit breakers.

I actually can see some "daylight" for this summer!  ;D

Ya, I hate it when my vajayjay gets cold...

What are you doing with the dash?
How much weight are you losing there?

Installing a 5" tach, and 2" systems gauges mounted to either aluminum plate or carbon fiber.
Depends which one comes out nicer and easier to work with.
My circuit breakers are also mounted to this dash piece.

The thing that's fucking me here is the dash bar is right in the way behind the dash for most of the instruments and CBs.

I'll have pictures of progress real soon I think.
