                  | Everything 
                      is concealed in nice black wire tubing, routed neatly and 
                      held together with zip ties. It all adds up to a clean look.

                  | Let's 
                      look at the junction box for the starter wires. Usually 
                      the starter wires go straight to the starter. If you want 
                      to pull the starter, half of the pain is getting the wrenches 
                      on the nuts at the starter to disconnect the wires. In the 
                      left photo Steve is pointing to the starter wires that have 
                      a nut connection. In the right picture is a quick-disconnect 
                      for the solenoid wires. Now if I need to pull the starter 
                      all I need to do is disconnect the large wires with the 
                      nut and unplug the solenoid wire. When the starter drops 
                      out it will take the wires with it. Nice! |

                  | So 
                      under the hood is done and here's the wire that was pulled 
                      out. But wait, we're not even CLOSE to being finished! |

                      Let's 
                        get into the interior. What a mess! When I would add a 
                        gauge or an accessory I would tap into the existing fuse 
                        block. I would route the wire so it was out of the way 
                        and that was about it. As long as the gauge or accessory 
                        worked I was happy. Racers, I almost don't want to share 
                        this because it's so embarrassing, but perhaps you have 
                        a similar situation.  |

                  | Steve 
                      is literally tearing into the Dodge under the dash. Look 
                      at this! |

                  | Remember 
                      my little blue switch panel with the toggle switches? Gone. 
                      Steve opened up the radio area for a new, lighted rocker 
                      switch panel. |

                      Here's 
                        the new fuse block that Steve made. Everything's labeled 
                        and he even drew a schematic for me to keep for future 
                        reference.  |
