Well Larry it looks like you are doing that type of work! Great picture! I don't know if it had a glove box or not, because the firewall, and dash were cut out when it was made into a gasser in the early 60s. I cut the cowl, and dash out of a parts car and welded it in. That one, did not have a glove box, or a trunk Good to see you still have Ol Plymouth. Thanks for the kind words. Mark

mark, they have that ultrawrap in the split style as well as the full wrap[non split ?]. i like that style a LOT better than the oem plastic ridge split loom. they do have a bunch of neat stuff it seems ! i need to go back and check it out more too !
Eric, I bought the Summit brand sleeve, and I like it a lot. Been making some progress on the wiring. I decided to put the relays, solenoid, and fuse panel in an easy to reach location, the glove box! I am trying to make this thing easy for an old guy to work on!

I think, that as a member of the "old guys" club, we build this stuff so its easier to work on IF we ever have to, hoping we are not the ones that would have to do any repair work. We have all seen some of the stuff the engineers have given us over the years, and we are determined our project will be better for the guy that has to do something on it in the future.
At least that's what I would like to think........Gene
Gene, I couldn't have said it better. I have many times said I would love to see the guy that designed this ,,,, what ever, take it out to replace it. If they had to do that, they would think more about servicing these parts when they design them! Mark

I agree with you Gene, I am working on my race truck and my 46 coe PU on the dakota chassis and It takes a little longer making something just so it will be easier to do something later. I am working on the floor and engine cover and am making the top cover so it can come off with a few latches and the lower floor area needs to be removable to get at the valve covers and spark plugs, I also had to make the firewall removable so the engine could be removed with out having to take the cab off the frame. on the race truck I made the mounts for the frontend so I could just take out a few Dzus clips and the whole frontend can be removed, also it has fenderwell headers and they can be removed with the fronend in place or with the frontend off and you don't have to remove anything else I made it so the bed is mounted on (6) 3/8 studs and it can be removed in about 2 minutes with 2 people... Oh and Mark the car is looking great Ron...

Ron, It seems we are all thinking along the same lines as far as serviceability (is that a word? ) This is what mounts the tilt front end on my car . It allows the front end to pull forward and clear the doors before rotating up. Thanks, Mark

Before, it took two guys to hold the bottom edges of the front fenders to keep them from scribing an arc into the doors when the doghouse was tilted. This cures that problem. Mark
