That’s incredible!! Please video the wiring. I think it would help others like me get the guidance and thoughts of someone that has done it. Thanks James!!
@@rodneymiddleton9624 Nice Bus...love the old silversides, I made a video on wiring my bus back in 2019, I pulled all the original wiring out and replaced it with an aftermarket wiring harness for a hotrod or custom car, if you haven't seen that take a look.... might give you some ideas
@@JamesEDennison This bud sat behind a house on jackstands for 50 years in Charleston South Carolina. The rodents had completely destroyed the entire wiring system. I pulled 37 circuits from the front dash to the rear electrical panel for the engine controls. Now the hard part is connecting and activating the circuits.
Ya...I pulled over 50 circuits out of mine when I did it...only really needed about 20 when I re did it....was going to pull all the wire out but found the main harness was fine...like brand new...just both ends that were exposed to elements were bad so I left it in and spliced into both ends with new wiring....I'll need to use a few more wires for some of these gauges but theres lots there...all identified already so can just tie into them...huge job isn't it...
@@HenryRoss-wu4lo nothing wrong with schoolies, I prefer the passenger coaches personally but schoolies can be a viable project, I've seen them done right and I've seen complete train-wrecks, it's like anything else... it all depends on the skill level of the builder, as long as they don't do anything dangerous... let them have fun and build their skill level. My biggest pet peeve is those who don't have a clue what they are doing but title their video's "the way to do this" or the way to do that", it's ok to be a beginner but don't profess you are a professional and lead others who don't know any better down the wrong path. Watch CHROME YELLOW's channel if you want to know how to do it right, they aren't in business anymore but lots of good information... thanks for the comment
Hi James, Don’t know how but I missed vid 129 and 130 so have just caught up (all out of the correct order). As ever, love seeing your fabrication skills, the dash is looking very smart, I love that you based it on a proper 80’s dash. I do think the polished aluminium (although very nice looking) might cause a few issues with glare, maybe a Matt or wood veneer finish would be more practical. Keep up the good work Stay warm and well Pops (I thought it was cold here) UK
Howdy, thanks for the comment, the aluminum is brushed and then clearcoated , not polished so I don't think glare will be a problem but I guess we'll see
Dash looks awesome James ! well done !
Thanks, it's a crapload of work but I think it came out alright
Thanks for the update. Nice work. Yes please film the wiring if you can.

Nice work, but, I have a question. How do you get into or out of the driver's seat? The shifter looks to be in the way.
Just have to step around the shifter...not a problem
For some reason the comments are turned off on your latest video!
Video the wiring
🤣🤣🤣... OK
