The electrical system is next up on the agenda.
Interesting work, but it tends to get you the feeling you don't get
anything done, but you just got to take a deep breath and keep fiddling with those
connectors and relays...

 

	After the decision was made that the fenders were going to go, a few alterations have been made, the removal of the running board mounts the most obvious . (February 2008)
	This is what the home made wiring harness looks like prior to installing in the Essex.

All switches has is seen test mounted to the dash here. You can also see the heater under the dash.

These pretty good looking head light stands were made out of the original head light bar ends. They happen to follow the arc of the frame very nicely. A cool idea ripped off of a friend's circa '30 Dodge Brothers rod.

The Model A head lights had two separate bulbs for low and beam, and here's how they were adapted to be used with sixties style bulbs. First the center of a 7" reflector was cut out, the old reflector to the left, and the cut out piece in the middle. The Ford reflector has already had its center hole enlarged for the "modern" bulb.

The center piece was then fixed to the new reflector with four pop rivets.

And here's what the finished product looks like.

Here the head lights are mounted to the Essex again, along with a pair of small motor cycle turn lights.
