Progress is progressing! It's...ALIIIIVE!! All electrics hooked up and everything worked on the first try with no issues. But fear not! There's so much more that will go wrong later!

I'm redoing the steering wheel and more on that later.

It's going a lot slower since this is the final time in doing it. Every connector gets shrink wrap to had the crimp, all the routing of the wires under the dash is neat and clean, and along the way a few re-engineering of a couple items takes more time to complete. But that's OK since it just makes for a better end product.

There was a recall on my correct Michelin X vintage radials so they are shipping out another set. That's going to delay things a bit. Seats and door panels are off at the upholstery shop and that will take some time.

Last big things as of now are the convertible top, rear bumper, exhaust, and interior finishing along with the windshield. The last big item will be the hood and that'll go on after I get the engine running in case it needs anything. Much easier to work on sans a hood and I only want to put that on one more time.

I need to start thinking of another project after this one! Hard to believe I'm almost done and it should be wrapped up this year I hope!

Cheers
Dave
