You will when your wiring melts and your car burns up.

Just wondering how many people may have wired their car with no fuses? any issues?

That's just Crazy Talk when you come down from that Buzz you'll see the light

I bought the car and it was wired without fuses or anything and was just trying to find out what would be the easiest route to go. The car has simple wiring basically just ignition, horn, headlights and taillights. Thanks for any input.

The simple route would be inline fuses, actually I never put fuses in my rides. I use circut breakers, if they trip just wait, when it cools it'll work again when you get somewhere safe, find and fix the problem that made it trip in the first place. Beats trying to fix a fuse in the dark on the side of the road.

All I can say is ouch! Thats just looking for trouble. Inline fuses are great an easy to install. But breakers are way better in my opinion. No screwin with the wrong size fuses at the truckstop.

I bought a truck like that once. It was scary how it was wired. I bought some universal fuse panels. They had 6 fuse holder with a screw on each end for wires. I run all of the wires through them. I can not remember were but they were only a couple of dollors.
