fixed door jam switches today finally....nice to be able to open a door and the light comes on. had to fish the wires from the top down though.

attempted to fix some of the copper traces that were loose on my cluster. when i reinstall it i guess we will see if i did or not. most of the traces where the plug goes were loose.

also rerouted vacuum hose for cruise kill switch over the column as i was told it is supposed to be. at least now i won't snag my foot on it anymore.

still waiting for new spindles to show up....

Replaced the gas gauge, old one bounced around like it had ADHD. Replaced the battery gauge, old one crapped out. Fixed a squeaking speeed-o-meter cable, replaced instrument panel bulbs (I can actually see the gauges at night! ) Installed a new dome light and rewired my cargo light as well as a new bulb and gasket. Installed headlight relays and beefed up the wiring, then converted sealed beam headlights to H4. Painted the grill and headlight frames.
