The power trunk lid motor is now in place. Take advantage of all the extra space in sedans. Even with the motor installed, there is still plenty of space in the trunk for a body if you fold it in half...
The last shot is the bracket attached to the lid itself for the lift arm attachment.

Finally got around to cutting in the windshield wiper transmissions. As you can see the original stock holes wouldn't work with the new Kit.
The stock holes will be welded in to finish off the project.
I used the Newport engineering Kit and it slipped into the stock motor position. Once the transmissions were cut into place, just a matter of aligning the motor and connecting the transmission rods. Another competed job. Look at the next post for the completed motor connection.

In this shot you can see where the wiring winds up. In the passenger side headlight opening are all the wires for the front lights, park and signal lights.
On the driver's side of the grill I tied off the engine compartment accessory wiring. Under the car you can see the wiring hanging for the headlights, hi and lo beam.
In the second shot all the wiring for the rear end of the car has been routed into the trunk. Tail lights, fuel pump, fuel sending unit, 3rd brake light, trunk light, etc.

What's strange about the 36 Chevy is that there are openings at the bottom of the front cowl between the fender and the frame. Also there are opening between the lower quarter just behind the B pillar and frame. Not sure why they are there. Maybe technology back then couldn't take care of it.
I originally thought this was going to cause some issues until I realized I could squeeze all the wires through the opening on the driver's side an avoid putting a whole in the firewall. The first shot shows the wires heading down under the car.
The next shot, through the headlight opening shows where they wind up. I used flexible wire loom to keep the look clean and making attachment to the frame easier.
