[DeTomaso] Has Anyone Installed the Painless 12 Circuit FusePanel in a Pantera?

I too installed a Ron Franis wiring loom and fuse panel and have enjoyed 7 
trouble free electrical years. It only took me about 40-45 hours to wire the 
entire car including additional relays for high amperage accessories. The 
Ron Francis systems are very complete have very detailed instructions and 
the wires are silk screened with the name of the circuit, " radio, 
headlight, left turn signal, fuel sender, etc" all along the wire.

Additionally, Waytec wiring has just about every component you would need to 
make up your own loom.

Cheers

Paul
