I need one for the Challenger as well....since I built a new instrument panel, I would like to wire it to something more substantial that the rotten, burned, rat chewed, repaired wiring that comprises the current dash harness.

On the buicks, I think I will mount it on the hvac box near the PL block so I can reach thru the glove box and change something without having to remove the under dash panel and try to find my way thru the maze of wiring.

Great idea!

should be easy to find what you need in the high end auto stereo/speaker world

I have the Buss Box Dave posted with 10 slots (5 per side) mounted on the back of my glovebox. Open it up (empty it) & hit the side rod & it's all sitting right there labeled.
I bet I removed 10 feet of garbage wire & now it's clean & easy to access.
Looks like this one & all 10 fuses are being used. Stock box is stock with no added jungle!

No problem do it tomorrow am. I posted pics a few years back on the other site but have no idea what thread??? Works very well! The labeling needs a professional look instead of just my scribbles. I also tagged each wire about 1 foot back with tape to make a 2nd label.

More like Boring Winters that drive me to do projects that I would otherwise never finish. As I get older i really don't like the Cold! Amazing as Kids growing up in Winterpeg we would skate & play hockey (what else EH?) for hours in -30* with 25 mph winds until our toes were so Frozen & Purple you could barely walk!!   :O

The question is: How many times have you forgotten to empty it first?    :icon_lol:

Shot these at 7am & didn't spend time cleaning it up from last time I was back there so altho messy it works well. I use Industrial Strength Velco & it's stayed for over 3-4 years.
It could use better labels but I can read them.
I bought it off Tim years ago & just figured it's easy access.  :atbeer:
PL hookup is right beside it.
Pos & Neg are direct to the engine.
I just counted only 8 fuses not 10.
You can see the Alky Control box in the back corner as well.
PS: The screwdriver is the same one the Guys found under my hood at Timmies 3 weeks ago!!

That certainly makes for an easy access and a drop down panel to boot!  I like it, David!
