Re: Henry's 55 Constellation

started working on the dash. this post serves to show all of the wiring hook ups and terminal ends for the 55 jr 2 dr. no power anything except antennae. I plan to purchase new wiring and terminals and rebuild the harnesses myself. buying a new one is not cost effective and with my old one being in pretty good shape I should beable to duplicate it easily enough.

I took all the bits and pieces off the dash so I could linseed and clear coat the dash itself. decided to leave it original along with the other body panels, even left the rust holes in it to match with the outside of the car. seems to be a theme for someone with very little budget. the next post will have the painting and reassembly of the dash.

luckily the dash cloth came off in one piece and I was able to get all of the knobs off without the special tool. not sure how, but they came off. putting them back on I'll need the tool I'm sure.

the service manual and parts plates can show only so much. the wiring diagrams don't show terminals and or how the whole thing hooks up in real life application. I know its a lot of pics, but maybe it will help someone in the future when they are fiddling around blindly behind the dash.

yes I'm wearing Mario Bros. PJ pants.....cause I'm cool like that.
