Pictures of my winter Race car complete re-wiring project This winter I decided I was going to delete some electrical items from my car and also add a few things, so I just ended up rewiring the whole car. A few months ago I wired another LS car, which gave me a few ideas to use on my car. I then took it a few steps farther and made a smaller, and more compact board. I also used some new relay centers that really tighten things up. The board is made of carbon fiber, for something different and because its light. I also made a new radio plate that houses a custom 5 switch panel for the nitrous control. I forgot to take pictures of that, but will here in the next day or two. This board will completely run the whole car, from the 2 stages of nitrous down to the parking lights. Everything is wired into here and uses metri-pak connectors for each separate harness that goes out in the car. Its basically a plug and play deal, once the harnesses are made.
I had some interest in the last board I made, and I've considered marketing this design. Basically a base design board with options added along the way. Would there even be an interest in such a thing?
On to the pictures......

It would be a sticky if I can get one. I'd like to see how to wire the doors so you can ditch the body control module 100%, I'm ditching the power lock solenoids when I have the doors apart so I don't care if the fob works anymore. Same with the alarm, and I'm going to put a BS3 in with it's own harness, so that's done, just need one for the car, how to wire up the BS3 to it, and that's about it. I think I can figure the rest out, my setup is really simple, I'm just going to add a window switch to the nitrous engagement, and maybe wire in a progressor to get the 1 big kit to leave, and that's it.

I found a diagram (I think it was on turbomustangs) where it showed how to do power windows using two relays. You just need to "flip" the continuity electrically on a power window motor. wire it one way and it goes up. reverse it and it does down
***EDIT*** here's the diagram I found

Thanks fireball, that's a help for the windows. I want to put a set of switches in the wolfe door panels I'm gonna put in the car, 2 switches in the drivers side, drivers up and down, then a passenger's up and down.... seems like it won't be too bad.
Then I can ditch the entire body control box completely, just wire up what I want, should make things alot easier

What's your source for the fuse panels? I've been trying to find something like that for a while now. That appears to be a seal around them; is there a weatherproof cover that goes over?
