Default had a good day

well I got all the gauges working perfect!!! I figured out that it was faster to pull the seats on my 77 and then the side console panels. plus I got to vacuum up all the carpet. I had the gauge cluster out in 5 minutes and found the problem for the temp gauge. I went ahead and replaced the gauge and put it all back together and it works like a charm! so off for a ride, with the new shocks an rear leaf it rides smooth. im happy. I found some heat resistant tubing and fed my vacuum lines for the head lights that are over behind the drivers side head thru them and it looks good. those new side pipe headers from hooker put out some heat so this should help. good day!!!!!

Problem is we have to put the wheels back on from POs running them off.

The next owner of mine will probably want to kill me.

It's a pretty day out today here in East Texas, I wouldn't blame you for driving it. I am still re assembling my car, so it is not road worthy yet. Waste of a beautiful day.
