Got out wiring from donor Feb 7, 2003.  Really large mass of stuff.  Completely covered a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Will have to pause and re-think the wiring plan.  Regrouping to use 93-type system; contracted with a third party to supply a complete wiring system for the whole car.  Sent off on Feb 15, 03 my extra 93 Cobra EEC-IV and an under-dash harness from a 92 GT so he can provide a system including a "wire diet" stripping away all un-needed wires and connectors.

Feb 18, completed radiator, shroud, and fan install.   

Feb. 22, 03 Dick & Judy Calhoun visited from Jacksonville, Oregon.  Completed rear panels called "fins", for lack of better word.  Need to install Emergency Brake cables before covering up with sheet metal.

March 7-8 completed trunk panels , and trans cover shifter hole mod.
