absolutely amazing ! i'll bet it really feels good putting parts in place that will stay ! one question if i may. on your battery cut off switch rod it appears at the heim end it is attached to a swivel of sorts on the rod. is that just an illusion caused by the camera angle ?

thanks mark ! i'm gonna "swipe" that swivel idea for future reference !

Hope it helps! It is short, and compact. Works well, probably a lot of uses.

Mark

GREAT WORK, I love the way this car is coming out

I hope to get some more parts painted soon.

Mark

no progress on my race truck lately

it is in the garage but I have been working on the 46 COE pu and finishing up my brothers 32 sedan.
I hope to get back on to it shortly

Mark,
I am Liking your project a LOT.
Keep up the Great work and also the Great photos.
That will be one bad as- ride when you are done.
Nice 68 RR in the background, is that your's???
Any photos or info on the RR??
Take Care and Good Luck on the project.
David

Great Story Mark, I am Glad it survived the 3 teenagers. ha ha
It Looks Nice.
I grew up with 2 different 69 RR's when I was young, mom's was a 383, console auto , hrdtp, green ext, green int. It got sold to our cousin later on but we got it New from the dealership.
My dad's is a 383 4spd, coupe, buckets and No console, black int, black ext, #'s matching but rusty. We still have it and it was bought in 1971 used by my dad. Our RR's also survived 3 teenagers.
Hopefully it will get restored but I have other cars infront first.
First car to get done is an 69 A12 RR, then my dad's 36 ply coupe street rod. My brother is incharge of doing dad's RR.
Take Care Mark, Keep Up The Great Work, and Keep The Photos Coming.
David

Very cool to have had two RRs for your parents cars! That's a hard core Mopar family! A close friend of mine's mother had a 69 383 car, and he had an A12 the same color combination.
Love the A 12 cars.
My car needs rust repairs too. For now, I just collect parts for it when I can, and try to focus on the Allstate.
As bad as the 68 looks guys still seem to like her.
Thanks Dave, I will keep on

Mark

I have decided that it might be a good time to wire the Allstate while there is easy access to everything.
How does it look so far?

Mark

Anyone recommend a sheathing? How do you guys like Powerbraid by Painless ?

Mark

The wire braid looks cool, but, if you ever have to get into that harness to do something, you might grow to dislike it very quickly.
Its not nearly as cool looking, but its hard to beat those corrugated wire looms like most of the new cars have. You can get it in many colors, and if you ever have to do something with a wire, you can pull it out, do what needs done and put it back. Of course, I mostly deal with used junk, your experiences may be different then mine. Gene

Gene,
I have always used the OEM type shielding, and it was always from some old wires around the shop. A friend told me the same thing about the wire braid being a problem to get into for changes or repairs.That wouldn't work for me at all. I tend to forget something, or want to add something later. I am looking at all options. I found this Summit brand that is split, and not too expensive either. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-890341/
I would like to see it though.
I may wind up going back to the corrugated wrap in the end.
Thanks
Mark

That split loom stuff works pretty well. Originally is was used in GM cars back in the 70s and many years after. Other car companies have used it as well. It can be had in a few different sizes, 1", 3/4", 1/2" and I think 3/8". It can also be had in different colors, I've seen black, blue, red, purple and yellow. Its probably available in a few other colors as well. One advantage of the black is you can wrap a short piece of electrical tape around the ends and anywhere along its length, in case you try to stuff too many wires into the loom. I have no idea where to find it online, my old eyes can't see that picture at the summit website well enough to be sure its the same stuff I've used, but it doesn't look right to me. I've always gotten mine from the big swap meet in Jefferson WI, so it has to be available someplace. Not much help, I know, sorry. Gene

mark,looks like you have a full plate of "spagetti" ! i saw something in the new rod&custom mag called ultra wrap. it looks like a braided covering, but the one pic looks like it splits like the oem ribbed stuff[which i really don't care for at all]. it comes in a bunch of colors, but i don't know about sizes. www.keepitcleanwiring.com
i'm going to check it out later today.

Eric,
I want to look at that site a little more. There is some interesting stuff there. http://www.keepitcleanwiring.com/products/ultrawrap/

Thanks
