David, great progress & she's looking mighty sweet. I see the glass is still out, would be a great time to pull the dash if that is on the agenda, I understand that the screws in the vents are about impossible to deal with when the windshield is in.

Thanks all for the flowers.  Yes Wade I was actually waiting for the paint to be buffed before I pulled the dash again.  I have to replace that goofy relay for the temp and oil pressure  guages.  I will have to put her on dollies again and didn't know exactly when the paint would be done.  I am on vacation next week and after all the honey do list I may have some time ot replace some of the emblems, bumpers and mirrors.  Maybe a little more too.  Time sure flies when you are having fun :bigsmile:

Got a deal today.  I have been looking for rear and windshield clips.  From YO, they are over $40.00 plus freight.  I went to one of our local body shops that has been in business for a long time.  Asked if they had clips.  The owner showed me the bins where they keep the  clips and other attaching parts.   :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:   Had the exact clip I needed and were in a Chrysler box.  I got 24 of them with the screws.....................For $6.00.  :cooldancing: :cooldancing:  Finally something went right.   :bigsmile:   Now if the front still had the holes where the clips went, I would know if the 10 I have left would do the rest of what I need.  There were 14 needed for the rear.

Working on the wiring and a bunch of Dash things.   Used the forum to search for information on repairing the clock.  Found and fixed  the problem.   It now runs.  Also found that the guages weren't getting any power so the relay couldn't work.   Hope I got the issues resolved.  Tried to post some pics last night but the site wasn't available???.   Will post tonight.

Took some hints and info from here and decided to paint the instrument needles.   All came out great.  Starting to put the dash back together now and hope to have it back in the car by this weekend.  If all the wiring is correct then I guess I will put the front glass in and start the interior.  I have all the parts except the headliner material.  Thats next on my list to purchase.

Got new woodgrain from YearOne.  The first I put on shrunk and they replaced it.  Good move on their part.  Getting the dash ready  to go back in now.
