Hey you guys. I am dumb but not a complete idiot. I will figure out the
radio thing. I just thought that it would a good story that it happened when
I put in the parcel tray.

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.
