Well, I'm not saying it has a lot of wire; but if he were to scap that bus out 
and remove the wiring, he would probably get more for the scrap copper in the 
wiring than he would for the rest of the bus.

Will; you of course are refering to a STOCK 63.  You haven't seen the wiring in 
Denis's bus.

In a 63 there isn't that much wiring.  Why not troubleshoot a bit with a test 
light or a meter?

I KNOW what is wrong with my wiring. I jammed it all up into the underside of 
the dash putting in the parcel tray. Not being careful. I must be frugal in 
getting help from Mr Blue. When I do need his help I need it badly.

Have you tried consulting with the wiring guru on this list; AKA your 
brother-in-law.  Heck, with the proper incentive he might even make a trip to 
the cold climes of snowy northwest AR for Xmas and fix your wiring.

 

As a side:  I just got back from the glass shop with two new pieces of mirror 
glass for the VWOA elephant ears that I am restoring.  Last time I had to 
replace the glass in one was when the howling headwinds (70-90mph) encountered 
towing to the Cal classic broke the glass in one.  I searched all over Anaheim 
and south LA trying to find a glass shop to get it fixed before OCTO and the 
Classic.  Finally found one to cut a new glass and he charged me $35.  The best 
glass cutter in Nacogdoches just did two of them and charged me $10.  I know 
why people are leaving CA and moving to Texas.

So, much like how my ribs still hurt after more than a year, Murray is still 
recovering from running into that tree years ago.
 
When I did all the body stretching and repair from kissing the tree, I had to 
take out the parcel tray. Years passed and I decided to put it back in. Well, 
guess what? Murray is not the same shape as he was! The parcel tray has to fit 
in to a notch on the bottom of the speedometer pod. The parcel tray was a good 
two plus inches from fitting in there. Murray looks OK from the outside, but 
not at all from the inside. 
  
So. I bought a rusted up parcel tray at the last classic and started trimming 
away with my cut off tool. Cut, try to fit, cut, try a again, cut more in a 
different place, try to fit, cut off whole end, better, still no cigar. Finally 
I cram and bang until it fits in to the notch. Now I have to take it out and 
weld in a new back and an “L” bracket to make a screw hole. OK, yea! It’s Done! 
  
Now the radio won’t work. I had to push all the wiring up under the dash to fit 
the parcel tray and there is no power to the radio. I am hoping that I can find 
the undone connection without taking out the f#!%*^! Parcel tray.
