The importance of cleanliness: Declan's Bench
Re: The importance of cleanliness: Declan's Bench
I wasn't sure about that green at first but seeing it now yeah definitely the right choice!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks! Little sneak peak at the light grey interior.
Girlfriend suggested the colour options, so this one's for her.

Chrome trim has been done, now I need to clear coat and then put the colour in the marker lights, finish the grill and the interior, and all set!
Little look at my terrible engine wiring... it's the third time I have done it, and it still isn't great.
I kind of like the dirty scratched look of the engine...

Great progress! Engine wiring looks okay, just go with a lighter gage wire. I've got a 1/2 dozen or so pre-wired distributors I picked up from different manufacturers. They look great and simplify the problem.
Thanks,
John

Re: The importance of cleanliness: Declan's Bench
Declan, that looks fantastic! Your engine wiring is better than any I've done. I did only one or two for clients who commissioned me to build them a car. hey loved it so I at least did something right, but it still didn't measure up to this.

Thanks mate, I have tried a prewired one before and I really liked it. I agree about the smaller gauge wire.keavdog wrote:Great progress! Engine wiring looks okay, just go with a lighter gage wire.

I bet yours was fantastic, perhaps you should post some images? I bet they enjoyed their commissioned builds.Duke Maddog wrote:Declan, that looks fantastic!

Looks good to me, Declan. I managed to swipe a few wirings from old laptops at my workplace they were tossing. Various sizes and colors too.

Thank you Declan. Unfortunately those pics were lost in a distant computer crash.Ceaser_Sa1ad wrote: I bet yours was fantastic, perhaps you should post some images? I bet they enjoyed their commissioned builds.

Yes they did enjoy them. One guy was so impressed and surprised at how well it looked that he gave me a bonus. That was an unexpected bit of awesomeness!
