Turn Signal/Hazzards wiring diagram

Below is a drawing I made when we were wiring the turn signal and hazzard circuit. I found this to be the best way to use only one flasher and no diodes with a single indicator light. I'm posting this as a reference to other builders. Please excuse the rudimentary drawing.

Old updates - DONE

UPDATE: All updates are now done. The complete build history can be viewed from the Blog Archive section.

I'm still working on back feeding the old updates onto the new website. You can get to some of the older news from the right column in the Blog Archive section.

We have paint!

Dad came down for the weekend again. We drove down to Temecula to the have the newly painted body mounted to the car. The paint turned out perfect. The color is awesome and the paint job is truely flawless. Thanks go out to Jeff Miller Customs for the great job they did on the paint.
