Default What Now? (Progress!!)

Finally! I've done something that actually shows some progress on the car. Now that the cluster's in, what the hell do I do with all those wires hanging around? I'm done for the day. Finished-up inside the car with the A/C, then got the cluster in and mated the dash wiring harness with the engine compartment and rear harnesses.

I've got the compressor and alternator mocked-in so I can do the engine compartment wiring.

Tomorrow, I'll try to wrap-up the wiring and get the parking brake & hood release re-installed. BTW, I did the cluster myself and think it came out looking ok. Only had to replace the ammeter, as all the other gauges checked-out as good.

Dave,
It looks like you have a heat barrier down. Did you run it under the center section of the dash? And I'm assuming you put it in before you put the dash in?
