The End Looms
I know this looks crazy since it will be hidden once the gas tank, spare tire and exhaust go back in, but I will know it's there.
I didn't plan to loom the wires in the rear. I just had all of this stuff left over from looming the engine compartment and thought it would be better to use it somewhere on the car instead of pack ratting it in a drawer.
I thought you might like to see it before I covered it up.
As soon as the engine compartment is presentable I will post pictures of those looms. I loomed the whole harness all the way to the headlights.

BTW car thieves in the 70's must have thought the Corvette alarm system was a joke. Reach up behind the tire cut one wire, alarm disabled and car gone.

Re: The End Looms (Z-man)
Sorry I should have said reach up behind the REAR tire and cut one wire. This would disconnect the horn, hence no alarm. I don't think the front horn is connected to the system, but I could be wrong.
It's the original frame. I painted it with por-15 applied with a brush then top coated it with Rusoleum Satin from a rattle can before the por-15 completely dried. I didn't feel like masking off the underside fiberglass from the frame so I sprayed it with the rustoleum too. So it won't rust either :lol:

Re: The End Looms (comp)
Before I removed and fiberglassed it, I had that alarm key thing on the back of my 73. A friend asked me whats that for ? I said the trunk :lolg:
