The wiring for the lighting (this car has alot!) is all routed and connected. We wanted as few wires showing as possible so we ran them all underneath the fenders and used braided loom on everything. The fender bolts made perfect holders for the cable clamps.
The flexible lines for the A/C condenser are all installed and looking pretty. The horns are mounted and wired.
We also installed the electric fan harness under the passenger fender. The A/C switch and compressor trigger wires for the FAST system were routed through this bundle. The FAST system is pretty cool because there are Fan controls (1 and 2) which you can set temperature to turn the fans on instead of having a designated temperature switch just for the fans. The A/C input wire connects to the compressor and tells the system that the compressor is running and in turn, increases engine RPM and turns the fans on.

That is awesome to hear about Kip. I am so happy for you both, and any progress is good when it comes to projects. My youngest son turns one this Saturday and this past year has flown by. I know why your not in the garage with your husband completing your beautiful mustang. Kids are a major time commitment especially at these younger years.
Merry Christmas (belatedly) and Happy New Year to you and your family NoReigns.

Thanks, guys. Yes we will look into all the car seat stuff soon. Last night we put the nose back on the car for the millionth time, tightened all the bolts, and tried the lights! It's hard to get a picture of how they look, but they look so awesome. Today we plan to finish installing the grilles, tie up some loose ends, and start prepping to fire the engine. It's getting real.
Headlights and running lights on...again it's hard to capture with a picture.
Just with running lights:
Front turn signals:
Taillights....look awesome
We installed a special sequential flasher for the LED's.

Yes I can!! Love the anticipation and first fire up. Sounded great! You and hubby should be really proud of all the work you've put into her. Congrats and thank you so much for opening the build to the rest of us.
