While I'm waiting for my engine I took advantage of the empty engine compartment and ran a new main wiring harness from the fuse panel to the back. Hooked up the battery and success. All lights, wipers, gauges etc worked the first time.   :jump4jo": :jump4jo":
Backup lights were a challenge. Couldn't find the d--m sending unit.  &(rage_

Look for the sending unit (switch) on the front of the tranny nose,
if it there, i had the same problem.

Cleaned the Garage to get a little room around PinknGruvin... byeby.,
Still more work to do in there like putting chit away.  :confused04:;



The last time I cleaned it was  when I patched some of the floor and put...... Jen and Glen 2001 in the Patch  #@rofl3

Added 6 new florescent lights 5 inside 1 outside & Upgraded to T8 bulbs w/electric start good to 0 deg F
 Should be good in the barn no more blinking lights in the cold :jump4jo":



Cheers

Matt, which parts of PA might those be where the engines are so clean you could eat off them?

Glenn PinknGruvin is looking good in that well lit , clean space   &^beer&    Can't wait to see Jen taking her for her inaugural run!
