NTFDAY, Thanks for the comment about the amperage on the cigar lighter, I have enough extra circuits to find a lower value but probably it is easier to just use a lower amp fuse in whatever line I use. That is what is great about this Forum, a dumb question often gets a constructive answer!

You're quite welcome. One other point, I would find a circuit with at least 16 gauge wire and preferably 14 gauge. I also solder most connections and cover the exposed joint with heat shrink tubing.

BradC-I have been working on it every day. I have not taken the time to post so there are a lot of photo's on the progress. This past weekend was spent helping friends move from the fires.
I just read back threw past post. What a very nice offer, thank you. Timing wise it should be completely apart at that time frame with parts scattered all over the place.Thank you very much for the offer.
Don-Actually I work on that when I'm supposed to be working at work

Ken that Brea Fire is a bad one. I hope none of your friends lost their homes!
My sister in law was up visiting, and was quite worried about her coworker who was one block away from the burnt homes on Saturday. Her husband emailed photos of the smoke in their back yard. November and still fire season. We need rain!
On the car note, post some pics while at work!

They did, it is awful, I moved 9 of my friends cars that are under construction, owning a trailer company makes you real popular in times like this. Originally Posted by stovens

I will, thanks again, we will need all the help we can get. I hope to start it this week. If it runs, barring any wiring problems, it will be the final decision time. Originally Posted by BradC

Today is the last day to enter a car in the GNRS, and I'm not going to make it. Believe me I have tried, I'm so burnt out on this thing it feels good to know that I can stop. It doesn't feel good to know that I'm not able to do this, I'm generally not a quieter. But I don't want to trough this thing together either, I have to much work in it.
So, I'm going to stop for a while and take a break. I have a lot of photo's along the way that I just was to tired at the end of the day to post, so later I will post those.
Those that offered to help me, I want to thank you sincerely.
Ken

There will always be shows in the future, so we'll still be here cheering you on. I don't know how you do it to begin with! Your one hard working guy!
I wish I had half of your motivation and even a tenth of your talent! Hang in there!

Ken, you and your car are winners with us whether or not you made the GRNS! That has to be the most beautifully engineered and built 32 I have ever seen and I, for one, can't wait to see the rest of the build. You did your best and that is all anyone can do.
