Default Wiring anyone :D

Got tired of laying on my back trying to see where all the pritty colors went so I did a little interior removal. I think I'm up to about 45' of extra wires and a few rolls of black tape that were added over the years the now are no longer part of the car :D I am really surpised that a fire did not ravage the interior long ago. Scarey is an understatement. Oh well tomorrow I will be hopefully be done with it and I can start putting the interior back together. The engine, trans and diff are next. They should be sitting on the bench in a day or so.

Naw...close, but no ceegar, Gary. That's a 60. Looks like a plain ole "BelAir" on the side, but I can't see the body style; I would expect a sedan; maybe a tudor. Maybe that's one of them Canajun "export" Impalas. Probably Ron's "daily driver". :D :D

Whew, Ron, that looks like a scene on cable news from the West Bank or Gaza. :nonod: :nonod: :rolleyes:

Tom,

Aint it fun :crazy: I am just thankfull its this one and not my 84's. They are a real blast to play with :smash: normal wiring X 10000000. It would take both you and I to hold up the wiring in a C-4. These cars don't even come close and I am soooooo thankfull for that. I have the console left and one res wire for the ignition and I think that will be the end :yesnod:

AH HA!!!! It's so obvious now.

I kept looking for the "greenhouse" and seeing nothing. "Whut thuh heck?", I'm thinking, "I KNOW they didn't make any "BelAir" convertibles. Must be some kind of abberation in the Ronster's photo. It HAS to be a sedan".
