Hi Don - sounds like an early spring day yesterday in VA - we were here in the frozen tundra of the Upstate NY area had only mid fifties - but nice. Today isn't!!
Sounds like at least some progress. Never in my life did I anticipate that my wiring would take so long. It is a long and involved process, then factor in some "unforseens" and some part failures it just gets longer and longer. At least I don't have the 'glass body to contend with. I'm still waiting on the replacement switches from Vintage Air noted in my last post here, but in essence have my wiring 95% done with only the cowl lamps and under dash and trunk light left. I did add a 'power point' after you mentioned your addition
I've seen those backing plates that Bratton's sells - they do a good job of protecting and turning the wires. I'm using Pontiac LED repro's bolted through the lower body panel below the trunk lid so I don't have those kinds of problems. I originally started out with '32 lights that mount on the ends of the spreader bar - but on a '31, even with the '32 gas tank really didn't look right.

I have 2 of these and one will move the temp in my 24x30 garage to the mid fifties on a 25* day, two, mid 60's in about an hour. I have my garage again partitioned off (yesterday's accomplishment beyond my honey-do's) and based on last year will move the 12X30 bay easily into the 60's. I do have a CO monitor for safety's sake.Dave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
