Technical explain why?

Simple hot rods should have simple wiring

I can see an airplane having a lot of wires that make it seem like complicated wiring but it still should be simple.

Here's a pro race truck's removable dash. Can you image if 33&1/3rd's guy worked on this?

 

That steering wheel is the problem

 

When I got my 39 Ford the wires looked like a rats nest under the dash. It was a big ball and when I shook it, I got sparks and yeah they were all red.

 

Yeah, wiring is fun. Run one wire at a time, power it and watch it perform correctly, very rewarding. Then nice neat bundles, pretty

 

Looks like it was done by a ******* chimp on meth. So if the guy was not ******* or a chimp I am going to have to go with meth as my final answer.

 

That depends on where you live. Conduit is not required here, plain old Romex cable and staples are acceptable.

Gives a new meaning to "drive by wire".

 

just to get the thing wired..............

 

The previous owner was a professional wire stylist, and you have now witnessed his latest creation!
Some people are OCD like me, some people are a little OCD, that man did not have one lick of OCD!
A little planning, a little time, and a lot of patience will produce a safe and neat wiring job, it can be done.

after 3 days of work, the list of tools and supplies to finish the wiring:
drill, bits and 4 different size hole saws.
two greenlee punches.
wire cutters, strippers, soldering gun, heat gun.
a grinder, screw gun and sawzall [don't ask]
fish wire, grommets, wire clamps, screws and an ***ortment of wire ends connectors and stainless bolts.
4 sizes of shrink tubing, zip ties and conduit, tape
a sharpy and pencil
ruler and straight edge.

david kentley might have a different take on that....

 

Sawzall?

Hold my beer and watch this!!!

 

I'm pretty good sometimes at understanding old cars and how they work and how to fix them when they break. Ultimately, the question of why the PO did something he did to the car, is not so much a question about cars as it is a question about human behavior. I have never understood human behavior. Sometimes when I have dealt with people all day, I come home and raise the hood of my '38 Ford pickup or my '55 Ford just to see something I completely understand and can fix when it breaks.

 

AMEN

 

There's a strong possibility that the PO could have been a complete Bell End...
