My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Time for an update. After having starter and a "no-start" issue with my Duster I determined my wire harness was totally hooped. I made an attempt to sort out some of the issues it had but 48 years of wear, tear, modifications and fall out from a horn relay that went nuclear was too much to sort. So I bought a brand new American Autowire harness, and finally found enough time to install it. After some practice with the crimpers I needed to use it actually went pretty well, and the instructions were AWESOME. Very clear, easy to read, easy to follow. And I'm not a electrical guy at all. While I was at it I installed @crackedback 's headlight relay. No real pictures of the harness install, nothing all that exciting to take pictures of. At least not IMO. The standard headlights are definitely brighter too! Although that's going to be short lived, they're getting replaced with LED's here pretty quick.
Anyway, I took advantage of my new home base location to make a quick run up the highway today and take a few pictures.

I'll try to have some more updates soon, I have a set of JW Speaker LED headlights to install. I also have a 13" Viper brake kit to install here in the near future, plus a few little things here and there. Still don't have a proper shop built and fire season is here so work will probably delay everything some.
