All of it very creative but easy to remove and Jim will replace the dash and console and this will be only a distant memory.
The car still had strobes in the corners with all the wiring and switch panels. I found a wig-wag box in the front and rear plus about 15 pounds of wire under the dash to power everything. THANK GOD !! the mice ate the strobe wiring and not the original ford harnesses.

the mouse nest was under the rear passenger seat and about the size of a basketball.......and you can imagine the smell !!

Gregg....you were right about the ignition. When I removed the sun tach to preserve for you since it is from back when you were only 50 years old (1977).....I found the ignition module thingy you were talking about was in pieces. Hopefully I can replace it and then put in some fresh fuel and fire her up ?????
