So at age 53 (I think) the old eyes don't cooperate as they once did. I find myself fumbling for stupid reading glasses and then leaving them far up under the car, etc., or just simply squashing yet another pair accidentally.
My Ninja Supermodel Wife came up with this idea, and hooked me up today with a really neat set of drawings from PET. Man-sized drawings. These are so helpful. And apparently cheap at the local Printer/Neurosurgeon's office.
Yes sir, those came directly from the Morehouse CD set, she just cropped the images and asked the print shop to make them as large as possible. The paper is equivalent to 2 standard sheets of printer paper, so they fold right into a 3 ring binder.
Some day I want to do this with the wiring diagrams, but with each trace colorized. Would be an interesting exercise with an OCR'ed scan of the diagrams to see whether there's a program that could automatically assign line colors based on recognition of the color code letter combos.

I started but stutter-stepped this project several years ago. I spend a lot of time in AutoCad, so it's "just" a matter of building a library of the various color combinations of the wires. Done, but... The later wiring diagrams are anything but easy to follow, so I thought I'd add live jump points that take you from sheet to sheet for the connections. I stumbled on that some, since to make it work all the sheets need to be on one big panel first, then with defined viewports that match the original sheets. Never got past that.
It's tedious work that sucks up time in big gulps. The original sheets are short on any standardization for line spacing, so they get a little bit of cleanup on the way.
I have two of the ten sheets for the '89 cars done. At this rate I'll be gone before the whole 1989 set s complete.

Yes, and what you don't know Dan, is that I was at the print shop that day.
Each image has now been altered slightly prior to the final copy: on each page I have changed several part numbers and reversed one part position.
Good luck to you!

Daniel, I just had my first cataract surgery two days ago on an eye that is 18 years older than yours. I got something called a toric lens put in. It costs more, but corrects astigmatism so I will no longer need glasses for distance; only cheap off the shelf ones for reading. If this would help you and you are putting it off for fear of the surgery, my advice is don't. I had no pain during or after the surgery and they have the technique down to where there is a very tiny risk involved.
OK, to make sure this qualifies as a 928 post, I used to think my Chiffon White 928 was Ivory colored. I would now describe it as cream colored. And I can't wait to see the true colors at my next 928 gathering.
