I have put in a fair amount of wiring harnesses over the years. I don’t remember exactly how I got in on this project or why Greg decided he wanted a hot rod. One guy built the frame. Another did body and paint. I did the wiring. The motor is a front wheel drive Ford Taurus that’s in the trunk. The center of the frame was cut out and a steel plate is welded to the bottom outer frame rails so the floor is totally flat. No room for a drive shaft. The outer frame rail where the ramp is located is notched so he has enough head room to get in and out. The door and ramp are operated with a remote, buttons in the rear bumper, and controls on dash board. There is a latch on his chair that holds it in the car and he drives using all hand controls. I got the wiring harness in the car but one circuit was dead. I cut the wire all the way back to the fuse panel but got nothing. Had to pull the panel back out. Found the fuse only had one wire going to it. The other was installed on a open circuit. I had to scratch wire all the ramp and door stuff but that what you did before they sold these kits.
When he brought it to a show or cruse he put the ramp up and the door closed. It was fun to watch people come up to the car and when they look inside you here something like
“ Where are the seats?”
He tried to buy a new ramp but the people who deal in these things would only sell to companies that do van conversions. He got on the phone and told this to some of his wheel chair buddies. A brand new ramp was delivered to his house. Never received a bill and no clue as to who, how, or why. He passed away last year.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
