Default I got so excited that.......

Did you ever click on a thread to see what all the commotion was about.........and you were left wondering (similar to this one)?

I had one of those moments..........when I read the last post in my own thread.

I was all "wound-up"......doing the "Curley Shuffle" in the 99*F garage because I installed the new horn button last night....................

which took only a month to accomplish (A.D.D./P.T.S.D./E.T.C.).

I look at other threads where members DIY'd complete exhaust systems in 1/4 the time that I took to re-install my steering column!

So.....thanks Members, for the advice, support, and lack of deserved criticism/LOL.

I'll just keep plodding along until I can produce an actual test drive video!

A little bit every day. And before you know it , your car will be on the road. Just keep at it. A little patience goes along way. Good luck

Proven performer!
You had to overcome many obstacles when you built your old p/u, but it sure seemed to turn out fine.
Just like eating an Elephant..one bite at a time.

Two small tasks left to do: adjust steering column 1" to the left/connect wiring to #2 electric cooling fan.

Garage here I come!
