  1. Yes I have and I have even visited their place. Excellent people. Problem is when I did it the economy went into the toilet and I couldn't afford them and now that I'm retired, Soc.Sec. is even worse pay and they don't have a plan to buy sections at a time. Just found a new problem- Although wiring really isn't a big deal- these are very simple cars. I began working off of a standard model 1948 8cyl. Pont. diagram. Could figure out what was missing and was having trouble finding the area for the "turn signals" my car came with. Turn signals were only added for the "deluxe" models so they are not IN the diagram. In the "standard"diagram they are called " Stop lamps". I did find my diagram for a deluxe 6 cyl. and it has the diagram area for "TURN" signal and STOP lamps. Be careful when reading a diagram.and double check.
  2. I have almost the same problem just a different question.- Is it safe to do most of the wiring for a 6 volt in 14 gauge ? I have the diagram- and again it doesn't say the gauge and when I look at most the bulbs they all say what "volt" . But only a few mention what amp. - So a mechanic said best and safest thing to do was start with 14 ga. for most and then go bigger. He said most 12 volts use 22-16 and that's way to small of a gauge. ( If I use to small of a gauge it could catch fire ) or a person can use a 12 volt battery with 6 volt wiring- but can't use a 6 volt battery with 12 volt wiring. I ask all of this because I thought about converting my 6 to a 12. and if I ever sell the car a person could go back to a 6- if they want to make it original
  3. I went to " vintagehotrods.net" there all I saw was a main page directing me to other sites- directing me to other sites, could you be more precise?
