If I can quit chasing parts and just work I'd be happier. I was chasing more parts today. I picked up gasket kit, reverse flow water pump, fuel pump, sending units for water and oil, front wheel bearing seals and motor mounts. Tommorrow I'm going to a guy that has some extra small block parts to see what I can find.

Hey truck progress looks awesome
At least with this Miata I'm making some $$ to support my truck habit. Thanks for the compliment.

OK here is the last pic of the gauges they are finished except for wiring.



Here's the fuse panel



I'm trying to decide which way to mount it.

Verticle- wires connect on the left


Horizontial- wires connect on top

I like the horizontal, you could really tuck the wires up high, and hidden...

Re: My 1965 build thread

I have to agree that the horizontal mount would look better.

Re: My 1965 build thread

There is an unspoken rule with fuse panels. They must be installed in the most inconvenient location possible. Preferably one that requires a contortionist to access.

I like the horizontal.
