No pictures as of right now but I did get some things taken care of on the car. I picked up another hood. I got it because someone sand blasted it and did a good job of cleaning it up but they warped the front of it near the hood pin holes on both sides. Anybody ever re-skin a hood before? I just don't like the fit of aftermarket panels so I'm trying to stay away from them. I'm thinking I might be able to get away with using a shrinking hammer on it until it is close enough to be leveled with high build primer. I gotta find the pics of the new yoke for the driveshaft. I got the trans tunnel in place and shifter in. It is looking like a car again. The rest will probably wait till spring

Glad to hear your still making progress. I will hope for a short and warm winter fo you.

Try toothpaste on the guage lens before you toss it. Seriously, wash it with soapy water first, then polish it with toothpaste on a terry towel.

I know plastic polishes are available, but toothpaste will work in a pinch.

hey thanks for the tip on the lens. I was going to take it out and use 3M finesse-it on it when I get around to it. I have to upload some more pictures when I get a chance. I've just been going crazy with projects lately. I'll have to try the toothpaste on one of my old truck clusters I have laying around. I got the car together and running but am having electrical gremlins with something back-feeding the parking lights when I step on the brake pedal. I'm having a problem with the turn signals too. I'm debating on buying a new harness with blade fuses and rewiring the car from the headlights to the taillights. I pulled the windshield and started cutting rust out of the A posts and around the windshield frame and have realized I'm going to do a roof skin on the car when the passenger rear quarter is replaced in the future. I will tell you guys that 30 mph feels fast when you have open headers and no windshield!
