Awesome job!

Funny you mention that but I usually wind up ordering from McMaster car once or twice a week for hardware and have a long list of wiring suppliers I order from online.

I have a large Husky tool box from Home Depot that is filled with just hardware and wiring supplies alone, plus a couple totes as well. It's a challenge to stay organized on a large project like this. My basement is a huge mess with car parts scattered all over. Thankfully its slowly getting better as more of the car is assembled.

Most never give much thought to how expensive quality wiring supplies are these days. Between Deutsch connectors, fiberglass braided wire loom, txl wire, tefzel wire, cable ties and cable clamps, it's easily a couple thousand dollars. Then add in about $2500 in specialty tools for the wiring...
