60+ year old thread.

TY

It’s a small part in a 7 year restore. It’s like a grocery list.
You check the box and move on.



The satisfaction will hit when it runs down the road.
Until then, there’s a lot of oh shit, oh crap. Dam it, WTF moments lol

 

Mike, is that a 240Z ?

 

Electronic spaghetti. I'd say, have fun, but....

BTW, I was reading an article the other day on the states with the oldest population average. Florida was there, obviously, but Maine was right there too. Think it was number 1 or 2. That surprised me. I wasn't sure if we all needed to make plans to move into your shop and basement??

 

Uh-oh, that might just trigger the grumpy side.

 

Toyota 2000GT.
We have owned most of the ones imported into the country, some more than once.
Turning a hack job back into original showroom ain’t easy.

 

That’s pretty cool, love that color

 

Mmmmmmmm
I knew we were one of the oldest but if you think Bob and I are going to give up our garage for you old fogies, you may want to rethink that… lol There are reasons it’s a shop with locks.. Roflmao

 

Naaa.
It’s actually a very common question..
You don’t know if you don’t ask.

 

For me it started in my early 20's.

Good morning. Off to the gym early. I need to have my blood tested before I can donate so today, I am giving samples for testing. Off to the Hot tub and grill shop for some chicken soak and a couple bags of pellets. Cooking pork steaks and Mac & Cheese today for dinner.

 

She's a beaut, that's a job you do out of pride and skill. For the short time I was at a dealership most techs didn't care for electrical issues. That color is Sharp.

 

Good Morning Everyone, Have a Great Day!

 

Good Morning

Have a Great day !!!!

 

Oh my! It looks like our entire winter is going to be beautiful! 64* today and sunny! AWESOME! Weather service says 1-2” of snow this weekend…perfect so I don’t have to water our trees! Then 40s and scattered 50s. Coat weather…I’ll take it! We had snow on the ground for Thanksgiving . Enough that it stayed until a couple of weeks ago.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day! May try to talk wifey into a picnic drive to the mountains. Wish me luck!

 

Just tell her you’re going. Hop in or stay home lol..

 

Probably for the best. Bunch of grumpy old fogies might not get along for long without some buffer space.

 

Where do you get original style connectors and how do you splice them onto the ends of the wires so they look factory? I've built a couple of wire harnesses but that connector issue has eluded me.

Color me "hack job"...

 

Morning all:

, better you than me!

 

we repurpose, we make, sometimes we shit one…

We try not to use quick fix stuff like Napa etc. we find old wiring harnesses and
Try to match the best we can.

I had to restore the burned wiring at the fuse box.
Came out pretty good.
Looks old..

 

Is there a source for wiring with stripes?

 

Happy Hangar Day Porch Pals and Sue! At least , we hope so!
