Now on to the progress report on the LaSalle. I hadn't been posting because I hadn't thought I had made any progress. My time in the garage has been extremely sporadic and in very short bursts.

The body is back on the frame with the help of some friends and since then I have been working primarily on the wiring and some time on interior panels. I have not had a chance to do much fabrication because of fears of waking the kids.

The wiring has been particularly challenging. I am adapting the 92 Suburban wiring harness and computer into the LaSalle. This involved cutting two very large holes and drilling a couple smaller ones in my nice clean firewall. However, I am making it work and have been successful in getting most of the wiring tucked away neatly. The main harness connection through the firewall and the fuse box are both complete. I am going to attempt to mount the computer on the passenger side tonight.
