This weekend I spent a ton of time on wiring and door panels. I had a couple more switches delivered; the first one will be mounted in a another (GULP) hole I bored in the lower dash right next to my USB port. I will wire this to a constant hot and use it to control the LED drink halos on the doghouse. I think I'll use the other to do the same for those in the RH cutout, although I don't know exactly where to put it yet. My general thought is I don't want any of them on all the time; only when desired. The front pair are obvious. However, if I'm lounging in the back with a cold one in the evening somewhere and would like them on, I don't want to have to crawl to the cab for the on/off function. On the other hand, I am not positive I want the lit switch right next to the holders either. I'll need to stew on that one a bit. I mounted the 3 bank extra Painless relay kit and circuit breaker on the cross support above the wheel well, and am in the process if figuring what I want to run off of them. It is now hardwired to the deep cell battery, and also grounded to an adjacent spot of the battery ground in the front of the back fenderwell, running through a rubber grommet in the floor. I hard wired the lumbar supports on the front seats through the firewall and into a hot circuit, so now they inflate and deflate. I'm excited to see how those work. I got an inexpensive LED strip light that I located and mounted on the forward-facing edge of the aft bed support, and hard wired that to the spare battery. It is not permanent, as all this has to come out at some point for paint, but it will provide me with an easy on-off toggle to hit and flood the cargo space under the bed when light is needed. I also set about getting the panels on both front and rear doors as well as the slider laid out and mounted. Although just minimal at this point (I plan on using those nifty spring steel OEM auto plug clips to snap them in place without fasteners showing), I now have them at least cut and fitted. The corner radii took some massaging! It also becomes obvious where I will need holes welded in that will remain exposed and painted.

Clean nice work . I can't remember the pics of your dash. Do you still have the stock dash ? I believe it's the same as my 74' G10.

Man this thing is absolutely gorgeous. I can't get enough of going through this and the previous build thread.
