 For all at once
I run extra hot wire from each indicator connect them together to this chart . So at the end one wire will feed all at once 3 seconds .

Blk  ground and hot for each signal , they are LED so some bulbs may not have build in resistor ( not sir if that’s right name)?  As in my case I add to each bulb

Oh forgot new two piece dash board from Marcello
And light bar
I just don’t have time to spend hours to fix I rather buy one new that fits .
Oh speaking about the light bar as I asked everywhere
How to hoop up that idiot lights so when you turn key on they all light up and shut off in 3 seconds just like any  car
So I put two pos wires on each and one that goes to each signal meaning
Second put all together and run on ignition  on with delay diode , Bada bum bada bim

Misker it depends how your skills are
To me everything is complicated specially when you get bad slashed body
I had to buy set of new door shells from Ron , then the A post was not accurate to new doors , lot re dos , side inner panels where made for Fiero
Again re do, rocker panels twisted like pretzel
Bought new set from Ron
Etc I’m doing the build as hobby not that I need to drive it next day.
10 years in to it and I could buy B/N high end car for the money I spend on it. But I won’t give up

Do the handle and arm rest complicate things a lot? Nice work btw, Eddie!

Looking good Eddie.  You and I are about neck and neck in the build progress.  Do you have your doors done?
