- Fri Nov 06, 2009 4:53 pm #155139 ok so i have figured out a few more things. The car was going to stay Seattle silver, but the body is to mint to not go black. so i am going s2000 black, but the jams, bay cage and anything else you can see is going to be Chrysler snakeskin green, looks kinda like green candy apple. i will get spray out cards of both and post pics. This saturday i get to put the canopy together. now all i need for that is some wire, pallets and some plywood. and i have a garage.. Woot woot

- Wed Dec 02, 2009 12:58 am #159459 That's some serious progress. If I were doing the brake like tuck, I'd put the prop valve under the dash. There really isn't a spot for it anywhere but the stock location or under the dash.

When you said stripped, you really meant stripped. Holy crap... I'm hoping you have everything tagged and such. It's going to look sick in black with that green going on. Good color selections! Not to mention good call on the DC2 dash.

Are you going to have the wheel wells painted black or green? And are you going to yank out the suspension and steering rack when it goes to the paint booth?

Yah i cant wait, im gonna start doing the wireing this weekend so that hopfully i can test the dash clean everything and get it all ready for paint..as for the marking everything....No im brave, i have wired this car to many times already.. so i figured wth i can do it.so im gonna wing it. the only thing that i am worried about so far is the fact that the wire harness i have is from a 94 teg and well the headlamps for egs are h4's and well the teg is 9005 and 9006. so i think what i will end up doing is taking the 2 grounds, wire them together on the negative for the bulb and then one positve for one side vise versa. can anyone tell me if that will actually work???

the wells will be painted black. the bay and cage are gonna be the only things that will be green. i think im may pull out the steering rack but i still have to get suspention. the suspention thats in the car, i am borrowing from a buddy of mine. as for suspention wise i donno what i am gonna go with yet, i was thinking 32 way adjustable bc race suspention..but it may be a daily for a lil while.

6 months and 27days till the car has to be done..

I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just not going to be easy. As you have already figured out.

You can splice the hi and lo beam grounds and then run the hot leads to the proper terminal on the headlamp connector. If you've done the wiring in that thing enough times, I could imagine you wouldn't need markings. I've pulled my engine harness out enough times to know which connector goes to which sensor just by looking at it...
