haha yeah I want to street drive this car a lot so I wanted the wipers and the fiancé wanted the heat and after much resistance I agreed. I got real tired of keeping a towel or something on my windshield in the staging lanes on those fall nats now I can just defrost it lol... my 1 thing with buying a mustang it had to be sunroof and all manual. I didn't want to deal with power windows or locks lol

I considered looking for doors that were manual locks and windows just to avoid the wiring

Looks good man.

Best thing I ever did was pull out ALL the ford wiring and start over. Leash street/strip board and had Brian @ racewiresoulutions build me a switch panel. Still have head lights/running lights/blinkers/ brake lights/power windows/and a dome light.

yeah I thought about that but between blinker and wipers and heat I didn't want to mess with any of that stuff and trying to build new. now if this doesn't work that might be a different story lol

I was going to do one like that, but I didn't want people messing with it since it's going to be street driven a lot. This is what I had done.
