IC2-Sorry for the long delay on answering you, it was one of those things I was going to get around to someday. I put it off and then one day I got the call from Street Rodder and there was no time. I really wish I had done it, it looks pretty goofy huh?
On the progress on the roadster, the wiring has begun. The car actually has two wiring harness in it. One fuse panel under the dash that controls the ecu and all related items, fuel, ignition,throttle and cooling. Then there is a Ron Francis fuse panel in the truck for everything else. The Dearborn Deuce is capable of operating like a regular car, top, door glass with power windows. Which means I can lock myself out of my car. As dementia and Alzheimer's set in I want to incorporate as many back up systems as possible. The car has solenoids on the doors and the truck, the windows can also be operated by remote. Inside the car there is mechanical means to open the doors and deck lid. I hid a cable to mechanically open the drivers door in case the battery fails this allows me to enter and get to the battery. Here are some shots, the one of the B pillar is the two levers to mechanically open the deck lid and the tulip panel for the top.
One more little challenge, this whole things has to be removable without cutting a wire. It will all unplug and be removable for paint after I drive it for 500 miles.
