Put some paint on the other side of the parts I painted yesterday.

Finished removing the wire harness from the car. Had to cut 3 wires. One that went to the right of the instruments (probably to the glove box light), one that went to the left and up the pillar (was grouped with the ones shown in the picture with the black douglas connector, and one that was grouped with the high beam switch that ran under the car.

Removed the wires going to the starter switch on the carb. Removed the wires connected to the voltage regulator.

Loosened the two screws on the firewall holding the "clamp" together and removed the grommet. The harness makes a three way split when it exits the firewall. I folded it up and pulled the wires inside the car. I went this way because I kept most of the switches inside the car attached to the harness and it would have been harder to get them through the hole.

The harness looks so complicated inside the car...yet so simple out of it....
