    Bought a new headlight switch after telling y'all that the one I had was good. Such is life. Planning to work on the gauge bezel this week as my fiscal year is over at work.

    Anyone heard of 3-bolt Grant adapters sparking against the steering column? When I turn to the right I can hear popping and its sparking. I found something on another forum, but wanted to double up the research.

    Might want to ask in a separate post......so it is not buried in a post 860 responses deep.

    Finally got it back together from a bunch of projects. The biggest being a rebuild on the Tremec TKO. Major pain with everything going on under this car and the tiny 69.5 trans tunnel.

    Installed the front valance last week, but most projects put on hold while my tattoo heals.

    got my car back a couple weeks ago from where it's been sitting for the past few years as I kept moving and still managing to work on a floor pan install. barely got it done on Christmas to where i would no longer need electricity so it can go into a storage unit and I can put it back together. Yesterday was mainly cleaning the pollen and mold off of the engine and rust of the front disc brakes. also replaced the orings in that fuel transfer tube on the carburetor. but the back bowl looked really clean so I didn't bother with the front. No gas left. The few gallons in there evaporated. poor car has sat undriveable longer than driveable but that will change very soon.
    I changed the oil right before I started and I'm thinking I should change it again although 0 miles on the oil.

    Got a rear valance over the weekend. A little on the rough side, but it's a labor of love, right?

    I got the heater box installed, steering column installed and started to figure out the wiring debacle. I have some cut wires and some plugs that don't seem to go anywhere but was able to figure out what has power, keyed power, power with the lights on so I can try and get some stuff done before I install the dash. I also got her cranked after sitting for awhile. I had to flush the funk out of the fuel lines. I installed a new fuel tank and all last month.
