That goes back to about 1976. I was putting a rock crusher 4 speed into my 350 powered 1973 Opel GT. The transmission slipped & cut a tendon at the 1st knuckle of my Thumb. In surgery to reatach it, they put a wire in just above my nail to hold the tendon in place while it healed. The nail has had a split in it ever since.

A bit of an update from the last week or so.....
We had to move into the interior. Troy wanted to add a Boost gage to the dash board. We had to relocate the 3 buttons that were where we mounted the extra gage. They were relocated to a vertical line to the left of the gage panel. We also added another buton for his "Show Lights" including the sill plate lights.
We also changed the stereo head unit, the the XM antenna had to be changed & relocated. The GPS was changed. We added a "Start" button in the center of the dash above the Vents. Troy wanted to reangle the face of the gage panel to point it up a little to make them easier to see while driving.
When the interior was upholstered thay had left some wires disconnected & a few other things had to be done.
To get this done & make everything work right is taking some time but so far so good.
A wiring nightmare?
Added a gage, it would be the top left in this picture
When we had originally done the dash, there was a little valley on top between the 2 center vents. When they did the upholstery, they tweeked it a bit to bridge that valley. On the underside of the dash, our valley part was still there. That was where the "Start" button had to be located. so we had to drill out & open up access to that area, so we could mount & wire the button.
By now we were really wanting to get it back on the floor.......
Getting the dash put together far enough to begin testing to make sure things work.
Finally we move it to the lift to get the driving lights moved a little forward to poke thru the new grill. Also mounting the camera.
mounting the radiator for the intercooler & designing an additional scoop up under the nose.
More updates soon.
