Man, that's looking good. What color is the yellow. The white is Cygnus White, correct.

Keep up the work.

Nice! Was that combo available on Pigs?

 

[gmayer]

Thanks for looking, I am stoked. The paint is about a 10 footer. for anyone shooting the tcp global paint, you need some thinner. Be very careful not to overthin. I shot my mustard without thinner and got some orange peel, don't do it that way. It wants to run with thinner, so I would use half the amount of thinner in the future. Just want to be driving. need to work on my weather strip and put a couple windows back in.

My old 40, a 76 was Mustard. I like it. You did a great job on turning that body around.

G, I like it... orange peel or not.

I personally painted my 60 and got some orange peel.. I was upset until I got my first tree branch pinstripe...

Looks great!

This is different year gauge. Do I still hook the negative to the20 amp fuse. And the pos terminal on the starter hot terminal. The gauge has it own separate terminals for amp gauge

After playing with this gauge on the work bench with a battery, battery tester, and alligator clips, the alternator output wire goes into the positive terminal of the gauge, and the negative goes to the battery. That way the gauge will show you an accurate flow of energy from the alternator into your battery. I had to figure this out because a PO decided to take major liberties with the wiring harness.

Nothing worse than someone messing with wiring that doesnt know what there doing. I see this day to day at work and all i can do is shake my head.

Great looking job! Love the color. She's gonna be a lot of fun to drive. I really like the gauge angel is it one piece of wood or an application?


Can't help you with the wiring other than their are a couple posts that have the schematic on here. I hate to touch any wire unless its smokin or something really necessary isn't working.

Great job!!!!!!
