Got to love wiring. Do it over and over in mine and it works half the time.

Well I made some pretty good headway before I went to dinner.

Started with this

A really crappy switch panel

and made this

I'll post more pics once I put the switches in it. This is just temporary until I get to the stage where I put in a metal dash that I want.

Here's some pics of the wiring mess I've accumulated





Now for a tech question. I want to run a flip switch to turn on the accessories and what not just like if I were to turn the key to start her up. What wire do I need to hook up to the switch? In the pictures below, is the the wire, that I'm looking for, in the harness?



Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the pictures! Ya I've kinda just jerry-rigged everything up until now, but I got tired of it looking like crap and everyone saying it was going to catch on fire, so I bought about 4 roles of all guages. I've gotta do taillights, headlights, cab lights, rock lights, 4 sets of lights, ignition, stereo, etc. It shouldnt take too long though
