Please feel free to submit your entries for this lowly regarded category of the Mopar Hall of Fame.

Winner will receive a mounted prestigious length of cable in the color of your choice. This trophy will of course have had the smoke released, as per the Mopar bulkhead connector standard.

First up, this fusebox with twig pic from my newly purchased '73 Charger :D:

Hardly a lowly regarded category. Probably the one we know the least about. At least IMHO. Will love to be following this one - and learning.....
 
Wow! An NOS fuse twig! Unobtanium, worth a small fortune.
I'd only heard legends of its' existence.
 
They should have added some tinfoil to replace those unreliable fuses too! ha ha
 
For those who aren't mechanically (or electrically) minded, the negative post on your battery is smaller than the positive post (so you don't mix them up).

Turns out that the previous owner put a new (bigger) positive terminal onto the negative cable.....it wouldn't clamp down enough to make a good connection and wouldn't charge.

Sheesh.

Now that's being creative while saving a couple dollars??!!
 
My contribution
Under dash before rewire. Please note use of alligator clip (but shrink wrapped)

I don't have a picture but in my 1974 Satellite someone replaced the negative battery cable lead with a positive one and when I went to put a battery in at dusk I shorted out the fusable link.

Those temporary clamps are for temporary use only :D
 
So I'm thinking this is the hall of shame, not the hall fame!

Yeah, the irony of my first post might have been missed by some. Sorry!

More of my '73 Charger. It might seem that this car of mine is a wiring nightmare, but most of this carnage is additional crap that I'm going to remove.
