Chad, I absolutely love your videos. I subscribed over a year ago. During the C- virus. I had 2 strokes a month apart. Was in the rehab hospital for almost 2 months and pretty much binged on your channel as well as a few other automotive channels. At that time I had pretty much given up ever wrenching on anything again but every episode brought me memories and joy. MLS.. has a strange way, but now it makes me smile. I love this project you're on now. I've watched you struggle physically from time to time but you always keep plugging away and always getter done. I've relocate to Thailand now. My wife loves your channel. We watch it every week.She loves how it makes us laugh and me smiling sharing stories of my old project vehicles. She's been encouraging me to buy an old project vehicle over here to work on together. Your videos have not just been entertainment but also encouragement that with patience I could put something together. Today at the end of your video... the wife did the usual...blurrblub... laughed and said " Let's Go Do Something" haha.. she wants to build an old Isuzu truck together. I believe we will soon. Thanks Chad...more than you know See you next week
Years ago I bought a wireing harness for a '57 Chev from JC Whitney. It was Chinese made and ALL of the wires were light grey. I had to ohm out every wire. Fun Fun Fun.
My Best Friend got ahold of set of auto meter water temp oil pressure and volts brushed silver aluminum triple guage panel, and a replacement blower motor for a 71 Chevy c20 custom trim truck he bought that got a rebuilt motor and rewired, and one of the other issues is the stereo would lose the ground and quit working when you turn the wipers on?! Well i go to install the gauge panel set and every wire under the dash is dark blue 14 guage wires, and pull the stereo out to fix that and it was the same way, and the ground wire was tapped out of the wiper ground on the connector pigtail off the wiper motor and so was the blower motor fan for the heater, and i unhooked all of that, went over to one of my square body parts trucks and took the junction block off the firewall and added it to the 71 Chevy c20, and the amplifier 10 to 8 guage distribution block was added to the truck for the ground lugs, and then i ran my own 14 guage red for pwr, and the black ground wires for the guage panel and the blower motor fan which then worked fine and didn't need replaced, and the other junction block power stud got the 12 battery wire for the stereo and the ground wire was attached to the bottom of the metal dash?? Wow what a concept lol why they didn't do that for the radio and the heater blower motor fan when the factory switch went bad in the first place i don't understand.. but in my opinion and what i told my best friend id be extremely ticked off if i paid someone to rewire my truck and the blue wires running everywhere under the dash and nothing being labeled is what they did, someone would probably be losing some teeth...
Mr. Chad, I always too hated wiring, but like yourself, when it's figured out and working, you get a sense of satisfaction. You remind me so much of myself when I was a whole lot younger. I love your show, please keep up the great work and hang in there my friend.
I have the exact same harness you've got. Yeah, the instructions are worthless but I just used common sense and it's been working fine in my '47 Ford sedan. The circuits that you don't use, snip the wires short and put an insulated female end on the fuse block side so you can still use the circuit at a later date and not have to store the extra wiring under the dash. I love wiring !
That wire loom cleans everything up pretty well Chad! I thought I was hearing rain on your shop roof! lol 😂 😂 Now you can take a break and unwind, thanks for sharing Chad! See ya next time my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻🙋🏼🙋🏼
Hey Mr Chad. With 37 miles of wires, your doing a very fine job of getting them all sorted and ran where they need to be. Enjoyed it, lokk forward to the next video!
Great job, like you I hate wiring, I can’t imagine doing it from scratch like that and you got 96% of it right first try 👍 the old 40T has turned into another fiery dragon 😂
I'm with you on the wiring thing Chad. I had to push myself to do mine - (first complete car I've done in my 72 yrs young)a great feeling when it is done and learned a lot 😅. Well done mate 👍 Tony Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘
Considering that you do not enjoy wiring up the whole system you did a fine job with only a few minor hic ups . That task is a monster !! considering the age of the car and the rust and positioning of the harnesses . You deserve a commendation for your stick with it attitude as you are one in a million . Always watching , Stuart in Canada ..
I used an M & H wiring harness back in '03 for a '68 Chevelle, and had zero issues! But I don't think they would have had anything for your '40! Had a friend tell me " wiring is the hardest thing in the world UNTIL you figure it out, then it becomes the easiest thing in the world!". 😊
I like using the 12 circuit harness from speedway an then get some diodes from summit to stop the back feeding power to the turn signals .the summit diode look like blade fuses. Keep the videos coming really enjoy watching them 👍👍👍👍👍
My wife is a maintenance supervisor at General Motors and she's a genius on wiring she done a complete wire job on my old 91 Dodge Cummins d350 dually and it is wonderful I hate doing wiring
I'm going to suggest that you take the ground wire off of the alternator, I believe that is for boat applications and not automotive, a friend had ground his in a 66 nova and he had to disconnect the battery to keep from killing it overnight, we removed the ground wire and everything was fine, it might even fix the problem with the light on the turn signal switch and the voltage meter not working with key on, great work and information on the wiring harness, I'm not far from putting one in my 47 and your information gives me a heads-up for what to expect, thanks Chad
Alternator has to grounded somehow or it won't work. The brackets are painted so there's a chance it won't ground good thru that and the painted block. If his battery ran down then he had the wires backwards like I spoke of in the video.
Excellent video Chad :) wire up electric wireing harness be challenging agree 100% and be big puzzle to do ! But you get solved for sure and say yes thank goodness it done ✔!
Chad I watch Brent from Half-assed customs, he does a lot of wiring. He does the same thing that you do . He separates all the wires . He then removes the wires that he isn't going to use. But I'm with you, I don't have a lot of patience for wiring. I can't work on it for very long without taking a break. So I really feel your pain.
The center light on your R/L turn switch should go to the head light switch. That light is only on when the head-running lights are on. The running lights must be separate from the blinking lights. When the light is hard on it will not bling. The running light will blink if it is wired through the R/L turn switch. Draw a simple wiring diagram and determine the switched input-output of the turn switch with your ohm meter. Ron PTL USA
I'm an industrial electrician /technician. One time I was asked by a friend to wire his 60s Japs car. Yeah, it's not really complicated if you know the drill. A little long hand diagram and common sense ws all it needs.
I feel your pain with the wiring job! It’s one of those jobs that takes a ton of time and you don’t “see” the results (the more work you do, the less visible the end result is). The engine sounds great! Also, I think those taillights would look great with some blue dot inserts. Keep up the good work and great videos!
Hi Chad. My guess regarding the continious power on the remote turn signal switch is you have the unit wired with the flasher unit after the turn signal. The intermittent signal never applies to the indicators integral to the switch unit.keep at it you will figure it out. Isn't wiring up older vehicles FUN!!! Looking forward to your next week's video.
I watched your international dump vid earlier today. Dont look into a carb while running. Lol, that was ironic watching this vid. Great work as always. Enjoying watching the progression on the sporty 40!
Coming along nicely. NOT a Chevy fan lol but I’m enjoying the build on this car. Wiring is of the utmost importance! A buddy of mine and his dad had one burn plum up last year that they’d spent a fortune on and it was a faulty wiring job.
Good evening sir '. My 1st attempt at wiring was on a 71'mercury Capri and a 67'ford pickup. Was,A HaAssole. I figured it out before time to punch-in for work and... Inspection!
Good job getting that wiring sorted out. One thing about Painless wiring kits is they are not painless. At least thats been my experience with them. Lol. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Very glad to see you makin progress! Car is becoming more of car every week! Without sounding rude, I have sent you an email recently and am patiently waiting for a response...
Don't feel bad, I do this sort of work (mechanic) for a living and I still hate wiring. I hate wiring of all sorts, especially tracking down some electrical gremlin that is intermittent. No fun at all.
Hiya Chad, get a coffee, my name is Chris, and im watching from the UK. Whatever you do, don't stop, because everything you do is the same way that i would do, in getting a vehicle to start and run! I have heard the rain coming down on your garage roof, and it must be cloudbursts! The problem with wiring is the fact that you don't do it all the time! I find that if you do it more often, the less of a drama it becomes! I watch from the UK, like i said before, and your common sense is on a par with mine, so we see a problem and work our way around it. The only thing that i would advise against is, where you have put self-tapper screws, i would put nut and bolts. Im not working at the moment, but at 64 years old, i only have 1 year and 9 months to go before retirement. Most of, if not all, of what you do is right in common sense, and mechanical knowledge!

Awesome work watching this project come along. Love watching your videos. I’ve done a lot of wiring and the best advice I can give is use tesa tape to wrap the wires together. Works better and looks cleaner than plastic wire loom. I still use the loom in places. I’d probably wrap the wires with tesa tape going up through the a pillar and back. Awesome work.
decrepoman from Ohio,lordy,went through this when i decided to drag my 67f1 out and put it back together rather than buy an over priced used truck and i was just straightening out the orginial harness ,thank goodness it wasnt hacked up to bad,BUT i agree about wiring,it can be a pain sometimes
Chad, When I was a kid my Dad and I build a 1932 5 window coup. I spent more time on a "cheek poker" (aka bench mounted wire wheel), cleaning parts and spray painting them. Those rusty parts can be cleaned up easily with the wire wheel.
Hey Chad, nice work. Someone might have mentioned it in the comments, but the white exciter wire to the alternator needs to have a diode wired in to that wire, or, an idiot light wired in series ( idiot light not grounded). This will block any back feed from the alternator into the electrical system. Oftentimes, back feed will not let you shut the car off.
I love wiring, maybe it's cos i started working on cars with late model everything's electronic stuff. The most important piece of advice i've ever been given for wiring and i follow to this day, is break it up into smaller diagrams (make your own) and start with the place with least wires ending with the most and make everything a connector.
One of the worst things I did was wired my D-100 with a street rod kit that had ALL black wires! It did say what each one was for every 6 inches, but still it was mind numbing. When I put on the brakes the brake lights came on, but so did the front running lights!
The dome light I put in my 66 catalina I ran a soft on/off toggle switch next to the dome light to power it on because someone had poorly and unsmartly garbaged the factory harness and dash light switch trying to rig what I will kindly call christmas party LEDs around the door frames and such. At least they didn't trash the headliner.
I have an idea for the dome light. You could use a relay with constant power to the coil, let the switches give the coil a ground and have it send power to the dome light wire. Then you don't have to insulate the housing or run another wire up there
I would not ever figure out where all those wire's went to I would hate to see a wiring kit on a new car I thank you done fine and dandy job on it I enjoyed the video thanks Chad
Nice work man ship today Chad, I know wiring can be a pain sometimes, as usual you figure it out, hopefully you can figure out the issue with the tri power setup, all in all Chad excellent job today, I admire your patience especially when it comes to rewiring a car, keep up the good work. Now get some rest.
I think if you get double fiilament bulbs sorted out and wired in those front parking lights your indicator lights might work. I think your getting some feed back to your switch.
There are a couple things I really do not enjoy doing and those are Wiring, Rusty brake lines, and Rusty suspension. Make sure you have a couple cold beers ready when your done. lololol. Excellent Job Bro.
I think if you swap the flasher wires it will correct the power issue. Signals should only work with key ON, emergency flashers should work with Key off or on. Looking good.
I think the reason your emergency flashers wouldn't work without the key being on is you have them swapped with the turn signals. Hazards need constant power, signals don't, they use keyed power. That might be part of the issue with that light being illuminated on the turn signal assembly. Swap flashers, see what happens. Just a thought, good luck buddy. Enjoy watching your videas.
One of the things I like about this channel is that it's like watching myself working on anything 😅
I think that every time I watch. It’s just a “G-Rated” version, my version would be “PG-17”.
Lol
Me too

Glad to see that you got the wiring done and working 💪 you are missing the tag light see you next week 😉 👍
Police love the absence of a tag light...no backup lights either.
Doesn't have one.
40 chevy had no tag light
Dang Chad I feel your pain I can't stand wiring! Best of luck!
That wire loom cleans everything up pretty well Chad! I thought I was hearing rain on your shop roof! lol 😂 😂 Now you can take a break and unwind, thanks for sharing Chad! See ya next time my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻🙋🏼🙋🏼
Hey Mr Chad. With 37 miles of wires, your doing a very fine job of getting them all sorted and ran where they need to be. Enjoyed it, lokk forward to the next video!
Great video I will never tackle a wiring job like that, when I seen all them wires my stomach sank. You’re a good man.
Great job, like you I hate wiring, I can’t imagine doing it from scratch like that and you got 96% of it right first try 👍 the old 40T has turned into another fiery dragon 😂

Chad excellent show this week. Really appreciate how you explain things.
Very happy you got the wiring harness done, another great video, hurrah for he's a jolly good fellow Larry and Sandy!!!
I think you have a great show and your creativity is amazing don't change what you do
Considering that you do not enjoy wiring up the whole system you did a fine job with only a few minor hic ups .

The 40 sounds great.
I really enjoyed watching you progress through it.
Thanks for sharing.

this car is gonna be a ripper brother, it already looks awesome.... i would love to have a old hotrod like this.
I like using the 12 circuit harness from speedway an then get some diodes from summit to stop the back feeding power to the turn signals .the summit diode look like blade fuses. Keep the videos coming really enjoy watching them 👍👍👍👍👍
Every week I learn something new when watching you work. Love all the videos! Rewatching the ones on dude again. Greeings from South Africa 😊
Hi Chad Thats correct thats the A Pillar you did a great job on the 40 ford coupe
My wife is a maintenance supervisor at General Motors and she's a genius on wiring she done a complete wire job on my old 91 Dodge Cummins d350 dually and it is wonderful I hate doing wiring

Awesome, Chad, wiring is a huge step.
Central California watching.
Chad I watch Brent from Half-assed customs, he does a lot of wiring. He does the same thing that you do . He separates all the wires . He then removes the wires that he isn't going to use. But I'm with you, I don't have a lot of patience for wiring. I can't work on it for very long without taking a break. So I really feel your pain.
For years big trucks used that type of blinker switch. Grote was the brand. Thanks for the great videos. Your friend from Grand Rivers KY
Wow I think the hardest part of any job on a vehicle is the wiring,I’m glad you made it through 😁😁👍👍
Your work ethic is exceptional.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.We also like surprise so till then take care

Hey Chad I know exactly how you feel man. I've got good magnifying glasses in the house and my shop just for those needs. 👍
I never had a problem with wiring, I always gave to someone else to do.lol may the farce be with you.
I feel your pain with the wiring job! It’s one of those jobs that takes a ton of time and you don’t “see” the results (the more work you do, the less visible the end result is). The engine sounds great! Also, I think those taillights would look great with some blue dot inserts. Keep up the good work and great videos!
Great accomplishment with the wiring harness👍👍👍👍
Thoroughly enjoying this build.
Always look forward to the new video on Thursday morning thank you!
Man you kept it cool no cussing my wife puts in her head phones on when I'm doing electric wiring
Hi Chad. My guess regarding the continious power on the remote turn signal switch is you have the unit wired with the flasher unit after the turn signal. The intermittent signal never applies to the indicators integral to the switch unit.keep at it you will figure it out. Isn't wiring up older vehicles FUN!!! Looking forward to your next week's video.
I watched your international dump vid earlier today. Dont look into a carb while running. Lol, that was ironic watching this vid. Great work as always. Enjoying watching the progression on the sporty 40!
It was nice to hear it running. Good job!
That is a big part of the project done. Wireing is that part that most people hate.
Coming along nicely. NOT a Chevy fan lol but I’m enjoying the build on this car. Wiring is of the utmost importance! A buddy of mine and his dad had one burn plum up last year that they’d spent a fortune on and it was a faulty wiring job.
Good evening sir '. My 1st attempt at wiring was on a 71'mercury Capri and a 67'ford pickup. Was,A HaAssole. I figured it out before time to punch-in for work and... Inspection!
Great video, Chad! I don't hate wiring but it can be very frustrating. Looking forward to seeing more on the '40 Chev.
Good job getting that wiring sorted out. One thing about Painless wiring kits is they are not painless. At least thats been my experience with them. Lol. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Very glad to see you makin progress! Car is becoming more of car every week! Without sounding rude, I have sent you an email recently and am patiently waiting for a response...
Well done 👏 on the wiring job I too dislike wiring... and those aircleaners look so good in that engine bay.
Don't feel bad, I do this sort of work (mechanic) for a living and I still hate wiring. I hate wiring of all sorts, especially tracking down some electrical gremlin that is intermittent. No fun at all.
Hiya Chad, get a coffee, my name is Chris, and im watching from the UK. Whatever you do, don't stop, because everything you do is the same way that i would do, in getting a vehicle to start and run!
I have heard the rain coming down on your garage roof, and it must be cloudbursts!
The problem with wiring is the fact that you don't do it all the time! I find that if you do it more often, the less of a drama it becomes! I watch from the UK, like i said before, and your common sense is on a par with mine, so we see a problem and work our way around it.
The only thing that i would advise against is, where you have put self-tapper screws, i would put nut and bolts.
Im not working at the moment, but at 64 years old, i only have 1 year and 9 months to go before retirement. Most of, if not all, of what you do is right in common sense, and mechanical knowledge!
MLS is a fallacy, that is what is known as trial and error! You have to dry run stuff before you actually build it, to make sure things work, and fit!
I have watched from the beginning all of your videos, and agree totally on the fact that you are a one man band, working, editing , shopping , real work, that brings the money in, and resurrecting stuff that we in the UK would only dream of running (Dude, for a start).
Im a firm believer in, if it works, keep it going! Most of your subscribers, if they leave, will come back to you, because they know what they get from your channel!
All the best in the future, Chris.
P.S. I don't normally message UA-cam entreprenours, as you have enough stuff on your plate dealing with normal shit messages from keyboard warriors telling you that you have done something or other wrong, but how many of them actually have a UA-cam channel which is bringing revenue in??
I hope you work on lockjaw or one of those trucks after the 40 is done great job as always
I enjoy your videos. I dont know what you are doing but find watching you work entertaining.
I enjoy troubleshooting wiring.
Awesome work watching this project come along. Love watching your videos. I’ve done a lot of wiring and the best advice I can give is use tesa tape to wrap the wires together. Works better and looks cleaner than plastic wire loom. I still use the loom in places. I’d probably wrap the wires with tesa tape going up through the a pillar and back. Awesome work.
decrepoman from Ohio,lordy,went through this when i decided to drag my 67f1 out and put it back together rather than buy an over priced used truck and i was just straightening out the orginial harness ,thank goodness it wasnt hacked up to bad,BUT i agree about wiring,it can be a pain sometimes
The one theonly
This and that garage 🎉❤
I enjoy your videos the forty is coming together. Have a good week
Chad, When I was a kid my Dad and I build a 1932 5 window coup. I spent more time on a "cheek poker" (aka bench mounted wire wheel), cleaning parts and spray painting them. Those rusty parts can be cleaned up easily with the wire wheel.
I wouldn't say easily!!
Great job on that harness Chad!
Hey Chad, nice work. Someone might have mentioned it in the comments, but the white exciter wire to the alternator needs to have a diode wired in to that wire, or, an idiot light wired in series ( idiot light not grounded). This will block any back feed from the alternator into the electrical system. Oftentimes, back feed will not let you shut the car off.
I love wiring, maybe it's cos i started working on cars with late model everything's electronic stuff. The most important piece of advice i've ever been given for wiring and i follow to this day, is break it up into smaller diagrams (make your own) and start with the place with least wires ending with the most and make everything a connector.
You ain't right if you like wiring! 🤣
Good.job Nice car chevy. Congratulations you show
Great work chad and you managed to keep your sanity just.
One of the worst things I did was wired my D-100 with a street rod kit that had ALL black wires! It did say what each one was for every 6 inches, but still it was mind numbing. When I put on the brakes the brake lights came on, but so did the front running lights!
It’s hard to do when you work by yourself. I did the same thing, but we get it done.
Good episode! I love the longer videos. A couple of channels have extended their time on videos, and I like the additional content.
The dome light I put in my 66 catalina I ran a soft on/off toggle switch next to the dome light to power it on because someone had poorly and unsmartly garbaged the factory harness and dash light switch trying to rig what I will kindly call christmas party LEDs around the door frames and such. At least they didn't trash the headliner.
Awesome video! Great job on wiring! I can hardly wait to see what is next! Thank you for sharing! 😊
You probably need a sandblast cabinet, I just couldn’t get by without mine.
good show,moving rite along😎👍
Awesome learning experience for myself Chad. Love your channel brother!!!👍🇺🇲
Good job.
Thanks Chad...Love your channel
I have an idea for the dome light. You could use a relay with constant power to the coil, let the switches give the coil a ground and have it send power to the dome light wire. Then you don't have to insulate the housing or run another wire up there
I would not ever figure out where all those wire's went to I would hate to see a wiring kit on a new car I thank you done fine and dandy job on it I enjoyed the video thanks Chad
Really enjoyed the video! Look forward to it each week god bless
I've made a lot of grommets out of rubber hose! Works just fine
It’s coming along keep it up. You will get all those gremlins worked out sooner or later
Switch blinkers one hot all time for 4 ways good buddy
Nice work man ship today Chad, I know wiring can be a pain sometimes, as usual you figure it out, hopefully you can figure out the issue with the tri power setup, all in all Chad excellent job today, I admire your patience especially when it comes to rewiring a car, keep up the good work. Now get some rest.
For hating wiring, you sure are good at it! Nice work This N That!!
Yup!!
That headlight switch came from the era of 60's Nova/Chevelle
I think if you get double fiilament bulbs sorted out and wired in those front parking lights your indicator lights might work. I think your getting some feed back to your switch.
Great video … maybe the big surprise will be a vehicle lift for the shop 🤔
There are a couple things I really do not enjoy doing and those are Wiring, Rusty brake lines, and Rusty suspension. Make sure you have a couple cold beers ready when your done. lololol. Excellent Job Bro.
I think if you swap the flasher wires it will correct the power issue. Signals should only work with key ON, emergency flashers should work with Key off or on. Looking good.
love your show
Another great video sir!
Love the exhaust tone! Sounds awesome!
Put LED bulbs in your blinkers, all you need is a washer and the small LED lights
Вы делаете очень хорошую работу!
Hi Chad, You did well getting the beast wired haha Thank you again for another great video i really enjoyed it .
GREAT JOB ON THAT WIRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
At least you got it done. Great video
I think the reason your emergency flashers wouldn't work without the key being on is you have them swapped with the turn signals. Hazards need constant power, signals don't, they use keyed power. That might be part of the issue with that light being illuminated on the turn signal assembly. Swap flashers, see what happens. Just a thought, good luck buddy. Enjoy watching your videas.
You need dual filament bulb up front thats why the lights are acting crazy up there
Thanks for all your hard work!
