Not much to report. I have finally reclaimed my dining room table/workbench so I'm back at the harness. Very hard to get back into it since I had to move the harness around and have not looked at it for a long time. Trying to reorient myself with the layout and which wires I had already done. Luckily, I have been labeling everything and marking off the done wires on the wire list in the electrical diagram.

Anyone know the colors for the power antenna? I do not see it listed in the electrical diagram, or the one that BigKev recreated for his '54. Maybe it is so obvious I am looking over it?

Also took the switch off the door jamb on the passenger side. I was curious how it came off and it was very easily pried out. Eventually, I will take it apart and clean it up because one of the switches was sticking and keeping the courtesy lights from coming on. I didn't want to do the drivers side one yet because I have some very old oil change labels on there that I would like to preserve somehow. Not sure how to do it though.

I ordered the harness tape that HH56 found for me (the e-bay one). I have been thinking about it and it seems like the best one since it meets GM OEM requirements. The one Turbo suggested would have been convenient, but a lot more expensive and it doesn't sound like it is the same thing.
