Didnt get much done today. Just trying to get the wire tuckin job finished.

Heres how the day started for me. Doing some more labeling and extending wire.

After labeling and cutting. I got the good ol soldering iron out. Gonna secure all the wires by soldering it, then electrical tape, then just for shits and giggles gonna shrink tube it. Tools and materials

Heres the before of everything.

Heres some pics of the soldering

After that some electrical tape action:

Then some shrink tubing action:

Alright so after all that shit. Got everything ready to be shrink tubed. Turns out nothing I buy from harbor freight last more than a month. Damn heat gun wont work. Took it apart and checked all the wire.... everything seems to be alright but it just doesnt turn on. ANyways long story short... thats where I haad to stop today. Heres a pic of the culprit.

More tomorrow!!

Im actually going to paint it the Infinity Lakeshore slate blue. My inspiration for the color is this car but in a blueish tint. The Infiniti color is at the bottom.
