Re: Good progress

Rich, I'm on the same wiring journey that you have been on. Did you reuse your old instrument panel connectors or is there a source for new ones? I planned on reusing as many original connectors as possible. Or did you just use individule connectors for each wire? 
Any help or suggestions/guidance would be appreciated.

I have been able to hit it hard the last couple days. My wiring is done 
up to the engine compartment. Actually all I have left is the headlights 
and horn. Then some finishing touches to dress it up. 

I had to make a few mods to the battery box and a little metal 
adjustment to the frame to get the new aluminum radiator to fit. Now I 
need to get the bottom hose neck repositioned just like Dodger had to 
do. I have to figure out a mounting system too. I'm going to bypass the 
rad trans cooler at this time to see how it works without it. If I don't 
like it I can always reroute the lines to the rad too.

Since I might want the steering column back in the car, I still need to 
repair the steering coupler. I couldn't find the right repair kit but I 
think with parts from the wrong kit and a little imagination I can get 
it to work. What kinda lube goes in the coupler? I'm planning on putting 
a little wheel bearing or white grease in there. I can't see how it 
needs much or it might interfere with movement.

Maybe with luck it'll be ready by next week-end :-)
