86 Suburban, warwgn's build.

That looks great! Nice wiring is sooo tedious, you dont realize how hard it is to make it look that good until you try. nice job!
 
Wow! Now that is some serious attention to detail. I love it. Too many people just throw things together.. this is the way it should be done! Nice!
 
Thanks guys!

Tonights starting point in the truck.

Dont expect a lot today it is aleady a little late.
 
Told ya not much. Little boy is running a fever so daddy had to sit inside with him to help him get to sleep, he is my buddy for sure dont want the momma just the daddy!


Anyway managed to get 4 wires into one connector and got 4 cut to length for the other connector, got to run new wires for the oil and water senders they were to short to dress out how I want.

Ok so remember a while back I was having problems with my trans temp gage........well I think I figured it out, I did buy a new sending unit but it is still on my bench. While I was doing the wiring in the dash and chasing wires I figured out I think I was hooking up the tach feed to my gage!! Duh stupid, that is what I get for using green wire for both the tach and the trans temp. I really need to go buy a **** load of wire in lots of colors and striped too, would be nice to have a diff color for each signal, but for now I just need to document what I am doing so I dont forget.

Now that I am getting the wiring under control again I will see if that fixes the issue. The scary part is I have 4 wires down low that I dont remeber what they do and one yellow wire right in the center of the dash that does not seem to do anything yet? I think it was gonna be for a dummy light telling me it was in 4x4 but I cant remember, guess I should go look through my build thread to when I cut the stock harness out and see if there is a clue in there.
 
Hard to get a real sense of the color but it is metalic charcoal.

Forgt where the ashtray is, but can get it later when it turns up.
 
Chrome Paint:
I saw the picture of the primer and thought "that is either primer or really bad chrome paint..." scrolled down "whew, primer".

I enjoy watching your progress.
 
Solved the yellow wire riddle, it is for the hazzard flasher indicator. I am glad I figured it out now, I need to drill a hole in the bezel to add that indicator light in.
 
New goodies to help the projects, 2.5 ton low profile jack so I can lift the Camaro for oil changes and stuff amd never hurts to have two jacks. Also picked up a HVLP gravity feed spray gun, and the 2hp 14" chop saw, and on order thanks to the wife a 16 ton hydrolic tubing bender should be here next week.

I think I am ready to make some **** now!! (Just need a torch)......
