Why was the original tail light wiring cut when the rear fenders were removed?

I was to lazy to remove the snowflakes when I was removing the rear fenders so I just cut the wire. I dont even mess with old wiring when restoring. New wire harnesses are cheap enough to make the headache of messing with old crappy rigged wiring not worth the trouble.

Hey Phil, Ive been watching your build thread on the 55. I cant wait to see you bring that one to its former glory. I like to use the Wiring Works harness every one I have installed has been easy. You can get them at most dealers or do a google search. I always shop around for the best price when I am ready to buy. There is sometimes a 20-50 dollar difference depending on who you buy it through.

Looking good Ethan!
Who did you get to soda blast it? My brother, Hal (He came with me when I came over last April) needs some done on his 46 Dodge truck. He's in Tomball.
My '66 RHD is moving slowly, but the pan is just about done.

Well now that the raffle car is done back to working on my own today. We got a lot done today. Jason worked on my hood and Jeremy and I shaved all the tack strip on the inside I plan on running a standard headliner so a lot had to be shaved. I also shaved the seal c channel on the front hood. Jeremy got my hood in primer as well.

Although it might not seem like much, progress was moved forward today. I am sorting through a lot of the little things to get to my goals of My Perfect Car :thumbs: Headliner trim clip areas are now almost all deleted and smoothed out. Jason and Jeremy put some finishing touches on the top of my hood, and Jason even smoothed underneath it for me :thumbs: Tito, Ray Ray and I just sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded........
