Or you might have lost some of them. :grin: JK! Just keep at it and you will get it!! Like the old saying goes "How do you eat an elephant".............
got all the gauges and switches wired up yesterday and pulled a muscle in my back during the process 
Lol theres only so much room between the stringers for a big boy to move around!
And Patch no i aint posting wiring pictures lol
Gonna get the front tank mounts glassed in today and the fill necks have to be shortened along with the tank neck also in order for it all to fit under there Then i think maybe next week I should be ready to start plumbing!

Go Greg, GO! :smile16:
Well since the last update I have shortened the fill neck on both tanks and shortened the flange on the fuel cap,,,where the hose goes on both,,,wasnt enough room for a total of 5 inches in a 3 in. area lol,,,that was a pain!
Also relocated the wiring terminal block and got it all tucked up under the transom,,high and dry and by changing one thing always leads to another! Had to make all the wires longer to the engine! but its all installed and hid! Bout the only wire you can see at a glance is the water temp,,,all the rest are mounted under the rail kit flange and where they do come out from under the rail it may be only 3 inches or so at the starter and the oil pressure sender.
Its coming together one bite at a time,,,still waiting on a few little parts that are on order,should be here next week!
Have to mount MSD box,,under transom (hid) and when i get the hyd. lines next week for the diverter i will mount the pump and electrical for that.

you wanna see pics of wires you cant see? lol Hasnt been anything really worthy of a picture as of yet,,,just the little chit that takes a ton of time to get right ya know? I imagine i will get some pictures when the plumbing starts cuz i know i will need a break here and there after messing with those AN fittings!Patchman said:
