    Put a new key switch in it the old one broke, added a set of cheap junk harbor freight gauges for safety lol found out they actually work and are close to accurate

    scraped and scraped what looks like factory rock guard on the inside of the quarter panels...jeez i scraped forever and there is still a fair bit.. most of the super thick stuff is off so now i can probably give it a shot with aircraft paint remover.
