Wiring continues
The cool thing about doing this a second time is when you know what you didn't the first time you have a better plan. One of the priorities of this one is I want to be able to separate the dash from the chassis if I need to by only removing the mounts and disconnecting connectors. There will be nothing wired that does not have a connector of some type if its mounted on the dash.
Last time I had ground screws all over the place. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach it worked fine but I wanted to be more organized this time. I created a master ground with some heavy wire and a self tapping screw after cleaning off all the powder coat. Now i have a one stop shop for all my stray grounds of which there are many.

I also used two smaller bus bars. The red is battery power (fed from the "radio memory") and the black is ACC power (fed from "radio power")
On the hot side I have the parking brake relay, the head unit power including camera connections, reverse lights and trunk light power. ACC side is the parking brake sensor (for the dash light) the accessory head unit power including camera connections, accessory charging ports and the heater bypass valve.
I mounted the relay board for the parking brake so everything will tuck in nicely behind the head unit.

I posted this on another thread but this is a more appropriate place. These are the two leaders in the club house for paint scheme. I have played with some aqua blues. While I still have not completely ruled it I would have to make it a 4 color scheme for it to work.
