Lol. You know I understand how it goes. Just don't make her miss another SD trip.
Yes sir I do know.
Don't worry. The SD trip is already planned. What I do not know at this point in time is will the 65 be going with us???? We will see LOL.

LOL, What's up Bob?!? Vacation is going great! I'm actually getting a ton of work done on the car. It's amazing how fast a project goes once the paint is done in the engine bay and the engine and transmission are installed LOL.
Okay to hold you over here are a few teaser pictures (I hope you know I had to log onto my work computer to upload these pictures LOL).
I've been working on installing parts on the engine (i.e. lower intake, balancer, water pump, alternator and starter) and I have been working on wiring and getting the interior back together.
Here are the pictures of the alternator and starter wiring.
Wire along the block going to the alternator.

Starter wiring going along with the alternator wiring. I'm "trying" to make this as clean and unseen as possible. The headers should hide this nicely.

Run to the back of the engine and into the cockpit through the firewall grommets.

NOTE: I couldn't resist testing the starter. So, I tapped the ignition key to start and the motor bumped. SWEET!!!! I just wanted to make sure it worked. The engine has ZERO fluids and only assembly lube. So, I didn't want to spin it.
I have been working on the ECU wiring under that dash. I got tired of wiring and wanted to do something different. So, I installed my front carpet and put the interior together. The center console will be coming back out so I can finish up the wiring, which is why the passenger seat was not installed.

Thank you Lambeau! I wanted some additional gauges, but didn't want that 70s style 3 gauges under the dash look. I had a single din radio in there before. I found that gauge holder and it worked out for me.Your classic Mustang interior looks awesome with the additional gauges, I love it.
Thank you Todd! Yeah those cup holders were suggested by an SVTP member and I seen the idea on bitchin rides too.I have console envy. I would love somewhere to put a darn cup lol. Looking good.

Thank you kind sir!You're doing a great job!
I wish I could find the tape the factory used, it feels like vinyl electrical tape but obviously has no adhesive. You'd think it would be common knowledge all over the vintage ford/mustang sites but I've never found a good answer. For my 64 Falcon I switched to the silicone tape, I love that it doesn't have the adhesive but it doesn't have the look or feel of vinyl tape.
