    Yea, the wiring is always time intensive laborious issue. Takes some forward thought and organization to build a system that is maintainable and accessible as well as functional.

    Congrats John!  I really need to get down there and check it out.  I hope to be back on my feet and back to work on the Cuda in a month.  I was thinking of installing the front and rear windows without the chrome trim like you did.  What did you do for the lower part where the wide trim goes on the front windshield?  How do the wipers work with the black gasket?

    What I went through 30 pages and it's not done?! :roflsmiley: I don't think I would have the patience to spend the kind of time you have one this build and I do have patience, but I'd be afraid of dying before it was done at my age. :smilielol: I'm amazed at all the fabrication you have done and am looking forward to seeing the car finished, nice work John!!

    Excellent work....when it comes time to buy your Forgelines, get quotes from 5-6 Forgeline vendors and be sure to include Matts Classic Bowties. I bought mine there. Service and communication were top notch.

    I plan on having the wiper blade park a slightly above the rubber gasket. This is close to where the hood line is but not above, The arms are gonna be power coated black so it sholdnt be visible from the outside. This also allows me to use a non e-body wiper motor .
