I knew there were wiring differences between the 61 and later. I am switching to the 62 turn signal to match the harness.
:? That's one of the pictures I took during tear down. Soooo many pictures I guess I need organize them better :oops: At least this is simple section to make.
Thanks again Ethan

Just about finished up the wiring this weekend. Just got the tail lights to do.

I relocated the voltage regulator to under the rear seat. That is what I worked on today mostly. Rerouting the wiring and making a bracket.

Hopefully next week I'll finish up the tail lights and onto the doors. Question - How do you terminate the fender beading?

I would be interested in buying that 6 wire turn signal switch if you decide to sell it.

That grey color is looking great! What color interior?

The original 6-wire switch was broken. The one in the picture is a 3-wire. I installed a '62 wiring harness to get around the one off '61 issues.

The interior is going to be red.

If you still have it, I would like it. I can use it for parts.

Red will look good....Ox Blood would be awesome. Its a deep red, but not maroon.

Nice sounding combo! Glad you are not putting the one piece headliner in, the three piece looks so much better in earlier cars.

I may regret it since I will be the installer. But hey you just don't know until you try :shock:
