    Finally got the wiring straighten out and everything is working correctly now. Had one wire on the wrong terminal on the light switch which canceled the tail lights when pulled all the way out..

    Fired up the engine for the first time in about 4 months and low and behold the trans didnt pump up. Pulled out the trans and found the converter wasnt all the way in the pump. Reinstalled the converter and shimmed it to proper specs and put it all back together again this afternoon. Dont know if what I did fixed the problem but it sure couldnt hurt it.

    Still got a few more things to hook up but will know again by the weekend....I hope.

    That is so cool,congratulations on completing the task. Very nice lines and you can stop calling it a rat rod now as that is top class. Can you take a couple of photos with the door s open as I would like to see how much leg room you have please. Thanks again and well done,now the grandchildren will have to wait their turn for the keys.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
