I did a quick little clean and polish on the instrument cluster and put on a new tripmeter knob. I'm not sure why, the bare metal rod bugs the hell out of me.
The stuff that needed to go to the trash heap was really beginning to pile up after two months, so this all went to the curb a few days ago.
That's where it stands right now. Impending fatherhood means I can't spend quite as much money now as I had been, but I still want to get it painted, back together and running in stock condition by the end of the year. Then next year, I can start on the mods.
