Default Tomorrow I am.....

Tomorrow, I am going to hotwire my 65 Mustang just to get it running and on the road again. I've owned it for like 4 months now, and have only driven it 2 blocks! It needs to be completely re-wired, so tomorrow, I'm gonna hot wire it just enough to be able to drive it to my shop, where I'll start re-wiring it completely.


What are YOU doing tomorrow?

Why would it need a COMPLETE rewire? Seems like alot thats unnecessary.

Because NOTHING works that's electrical. LOL If I could take a pic in the dark, I would show you the spaghetti mess that is under my dash. LOL

Pull the dash, rebuild the harness, never worry for another 40 years about wiring if it's done right. And good ole harbor freight copper won't work unless you plan on selling it in 6 months .

Yes....I still am. Because after about 3-4 hours of wiring, it'll be worth more than the fobra was. Put another 18-24 hrs into the paint and body, and it'll surpass the fobra's value. Build the motor, and viola...a wonderful vehicle which I actually ENJOY driving around and have no fear of ever breaking down to a point where I have to have a scanner to fix it or make the CEL go off.
