I purchased a fuse box kit because I wanted to leave as much of the original wiring intact. I will have to splice into the lights/dimmer switches for the lighting for the gauges, but I think everything else can remain untouched.
I'll be adding the following:
New Fuse Box in place under the dash
Wiring from the fuse box to the battery and line lock wiring.
Once I get all the wiring done I will tape up everything to match the stock look.
Ashtray open
Revealing EGT gauge and Nitrous arming switch
Arming switch Armed
I am going to paint the plexiglass with spray tint to make it translucent and I've already wired a blue LED to come on when the n2o is armed. This will backlight the entire ashtray and bathe the area in a blue glow.
Shifter closeup; fuel pump switch is the headlight switch out of my old car.
Hopefully i'll be able to fabricate a shifter place and incorporate that switch into the design.
Extra red wiring is for the line lock.
I still have to get a push-button shifter ball.
