So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all this time. Lol.
I’m revamping my old Willys jeep dash and making several modifications and modernizing some. I do not want to pull the dash off again.
Some of what will be wired will be soldered. There is the usual crimping and heat shrinking too. I plan for my connections to hold.

I'm glad to see that! I was wondering what to do with a more recent vehicle with a circuit board under a plastic dash, when I saw some dashboards and other parts being made by owners with carbon fiber and other materials (web sites, YouTube, etc.). Yes! Even newer vehicles can be completely rebuilt with materials different from original materials! And yes, whole vehicles can be built at home with relatively low costs from the ground, up (examples, the Locost 7 and many others).
Next up for me, a stealth travel trailer built with space frame tech. and looks exactly like a utility (cargo) trailer. Very light weight and useful, regardless of regs against travel trailers.
