I have been very busy at work ..I did get the rebel wire harness and some other goodies..Iran a pull string from front to back . I have to pick up a VW bug light switch, I cannot find the one I had..The 26th I am picking up the roll cage. Hopefully next week I will get the body work done on the inside. . Sorry no real big update.. I'll keep you posted as turn of events happen.

Wow..cameras do funny things. The red looks so much thicker than the green...almost like 12 or 10 gauge.

Looks like heat shrink tubing. It's making the wire look fat.

Very neat job.
