I was able to spend a few hours on the car last night picking away at the list of things to do.....

Finished going over the paint with the surface prep mitt - very happy with the results, still need to polish and wax.
Got a picture of the hood gaps.
The trip odometer reset was missing the retaining nut and knob.
The gas pedal screws were wrong.
Installed 4 new T-3's and cleaned up the headlight buckets.
Replaced a broken drivers side courtesy light socket.
Tightened up a bunch of loose fasteners I found.
Cut the carpet correctly for the seats on both sides - previous installer just bolted down over top of carpet.
Removed the passenger side seat and did a deep cleaning/scrubbing and applied some 303 on it.
Did a deep cleaning/scrubbing and applied some 303 on the door panels and dash pads.
Tested a replacement headlight switch to confirm the one in the car is bad, I was able to get the wiring clip off but haven't been able to figure out how to get the switch off the bottom of the dash yet to replace it.

Little by little............
