OK, so the car is on the road...woohoo!! Now I can get it closer to being finished. Other than a paint job I've got to get a few things started/completed none of which should stop me from bringing it to the gathering
. Unfortunately, the car is at the shop getting inspected and aligned so I can't do much with it not being here. It's cold so I don't feel so bad.
I have to finish up installing the door handle and remote mirror bezels on the driver side. Makes me nervous cutting the door panels. Lights still getting caught up on the body when I turn them on but I want to drive it around and make sure there isn't any body settling after sitting for so long before I adjust them. Replace whatever is broken with the blower or switch or fuse. Get an accurate reading on the coolant temp as it seems to be running hot and if so get the electric fan to kick on at a lower temp. New spare tire. Wipers still not working. I'm guessing its the switch since the motor worked when bench tested. RADIO. Rear compartment doors and frame rehab. Re-install rear carpet as I did a half-assed job. Good thing I didn't glue it down. Plus whatever else pops up. Looks like I'll be busy for an afternoon
