my racecar rewiring project I've been inspired by some other racecar rewiring projects posted here so I thought I'd share mine thats in progress...
main electrical panel mounts behind the pinon dash and is constructed from a 1/4" chromemoly frame thats made removable via 3 tab mounts on the chassis. The "board" is electrical grade fiberglass from mcmaster...wish it wasn't red, but hey it was 10 dollars
Either way, its completely invisible when the dash is in place.
All wires that go somewhere in the car will interface with the panel at the perimeter via a terminal block...areas are partioned such that all the wires going to the rear of the car go to the same place, wires going to engine bay go to the same place, etc.
Internal connections are ~85% done...just need to add wiring to relays...most of the external wires are ran, just need to interface to the board...The relays will be mounted beside the board to control the windows, fan and ignition.
Also on the panel is the main board for the ARC switch panel (really pimp piece), two 7-circuit painless fuse blocks which I previously had and 3 circuit breakers.
Also made a custom mount for my bigstuff3 and egt module...the frame is done, and since this panel will be visible, I'm using a piece of carbon fiber sheet which I have on order...current mockup just uses a piece of cardboard

looks like speedinc carpet, wait no heel pad like mine dose so probally not..
that looks good,! so its all from scratch pieced together, over starting with a 12-18 circuit kit? Your like 20hours ahead of me, haha
your IC is behind the passenger seat?

ozite from yourautotrim.com
where the passenger seat was originally
wiring was a basic harness kit I got from ARC (from summit) that had a bunch of different color/striped wires...also reused some good wire lengths from the OEM harness...
thats how it was last year...looked horrible and tracing problems was not the easiest thing to do...

Way better than piece-mealing it together with the stock wiring.
