    Got my sport lamps working, installed my new to me factory sport lamp switch (thanks mean maverick) it was a surprise to find the factory plug was still under the dash... Also fixed my side marker lights and glued a new bracket on the windshield for the mirror....

    Got my maverick up and running again, got some fresh gas, added some air to the tires. After I adjusted the clutch and brake pedal I can now pivot off my heal for gas and brake operation, and now my clutch starts to engage about a inch off the floor, that might need a little tightening. felt good to drive it again.

    Changed the upper ball joints and outer wheel bearings on the Comet... HUGE difference in how the car feels.. Now to get it aligned.

    Received my 1/4 window seals, and my headliner. The company gave me TONS of extra fabric to do my visors too. I can make probably 2-3 full sets of visors :)

    I disassembled my old visors and got them ready to upholster them. Also going to swing my 1/4 windows by the body shop to have them primed & painted.

    Going to be ordering rear window seal and and winsheild seal tomorrow. Getting excited the interior is almost finished. Still need to tear out a few more things off of the firewall and prep that for deadening, and the mock up of the custom dash. Have a few ideas but we'll see :)
