It started with the key.  I had one wiring mistake I had to fix to get the each to work.   I also figured out the brake lights, just needed extra grounding to the taillight housings.  I'm super excited.

Awesome.  Always a big milestone when it runs for the first time.

I'm happy I've only encountered one wiring mistake.   Still need to prove the other gauges work so there a possibility I have more mistakes.  But I'm beyond excited.   

They let me stay home from work today but have to be on stand by until at least noon so I'm in the garage working.
