    I was helping my friend rewire his drag car as in I was making the board and he was running wires in the car.

    I'm gonna ask him also but all I should need to wire up is head and tail lights marker, reverse, and turn signal lights, wipers, dash lights, fuel pump, 94 starter with solenoid, ignition coil, radio (for comfort lol) and battery to the trunk and that should be it right??? And of course I'll leave some extra circuits.

    This is the board I made. FB_IMG_1462898525422.jpg

    Junrai you know I've never asked him it might be what he had laying around.

    Frank it's a aluminum sheet with carbon fiber wrap on it found on Amazon. It's two Auto Rod boards and I found the shrink wrap labels on Amazon also. I do HVAC and communication wiring so making stuff clean and easy to follow just comes natural lol

    Any chance you have the link to the CF wrap on Amazon? I'm getting ready to do something similar. My ARC Flat Touch Switch Panel arrived today actually.

    Absolutely beautiful Chevelle!

    I had a '69 SS with a 496 out of a wrecked drag car that was pushing nearly 700hp and it nearly split the Muncie Rock Crusher in half as it didn't take long to yield to the overwhelming torque!

    I was forewarned; costly lessons learned in my youth.

    The "Red Stag" is a nice touch, though.
