Finishing the wiring harness off again! Repairing pinched wires behind the dash, fuel pump, earth gas tank, spark plug wires. I had to donate half of my spark wires to my brothers cars!

I'm cleaning it up, giving it an oil change and driving the heck out of it  :burnout: Haven't had the chance to do that since early November. May take it to town and get some copies of my key made, since I lost the original the other week and had to get this new one made from the original door lock I had laying around

Just purchased a set of Billet specialties Street Lite wheels, 15x7 and 15x10 so will look into tire size and fitment, mya have to start prepping the B Body diff housing to fit the rears with 295's. these will be some interim wheels and will help with determining exact BS needed for the 18x9 and 18x11 SSR professor SP3 wheels I will eventually have for crusing. I will then put some street ET stickies on the 15's for 1/4 mile thrashing etc.

Put on new passenger side mirror yesterday and started polishing. Today I finished polishing and waxed it . Also put on new passenger door panel. Tomorrow drivers door panel and maybe finish putting dash back together. Hoping to get it out and go for cruise on Sunday after a long, cold winter.
In search of the eternal buzz!

Finished the Overdrive Transmission installation.  :bananasmi  Took it for a drive....and I had the 3/4 trans lever on the wrong way...so fourth was third and third was four.  :scared:  Had to switch the lever and bend the shift rod to make it work.   :jumping:  Also put the sound deadener in.....that was a chore... :faint: I am glad I won't be doing that again anytime soon.

Finally got time to fit a working stereo, as much as I love the "Mopar Rumble" soundtrack, it gets a bit monotonous on a long drive.  ::)

The right rear tail light went out.  With my "fix", I have running lights but killed the brake lights on both rear tail lights and still no turn signal on the right rear.  Somehow I burnt both brake light switch wires.  Oh, how I hate wiring probs. 

Also have to debug why the '72 340 Duster is not running right.   Busy Saturday.  Well, at least it's going to rain all day so the car shows will be cancelled again.
