I will keep my eyes open next time I am at the hardware store. I have been out of town for the past few weeks for work, so the progress is on hold for a little while. Ohh well... it gives me time to think about wiring.

Ed... YOU ARE THE KING!!! Thank you for the links.  Any ideas of where to get the rubber bumpers that hold the back doors open? Also, any thoughts on the front dash ? Mine is in pretty rough shape and peeling. Thinking about re coating it with some product like line-x or a vinyl spray.  By the...

Thanks! I hope it turns out to be a fun rig.
