Ok, here goes....after getting ripped off by a local shop I have decided to build my own car, and thus far it has been a success. What I don't know I Google, and I have paid close attention to detail, and tried to build a dsm, not only I could be proud of but we all could. Some thing you may like others you may not, but one way or another feel free to comment good or bad I welcome it.

What your looking at is how i wanted to control the wiring under the dash, so I made harnesses for everything, and instead of cutting into different wires for power and ground, I placed distribution boxes under the dash for ground and power.
