    I am going to update my wiring harness on my 1953 f100. Any suggestions on where I should put my fuse panel for easy access. Thanks! Don

    My painless package should come today. I may make a cardboard template of my fuse panel and hold it up in the different spots to see how it would feel bending that direction. It wouldn’t have been a consideration years ago, but it factors in now for sure.

    wiggle is 100% right, this one is a 100% 29 henry steel sedan delivery , the reset firewall so the small block fits doesn't help either .A's sure don't leave a lot of room,
