It has been in the 90's all week here, which you Californians and Texans will scoff at (I've worked in the summers in both places so I know) but for us that's what we refer to as "hot". So my work periods on the Ghost after my normal work day, are short and I only get a bit done each night. Tonight I finished wiring the headlights and installed them, now I have lights! I used a relay kit from KwikWire, which is where I got my generic harness too. Halogen headlights, nice and bright. One of these nights I'll park it in front of a hangar and aim them, then put the trim bezels on.

Found the little bolts that hold the glovebox to the tracks, so that is solidly attached again. Installed the lock and the light, that tests OK. I am going to use some toolbox drawer liner inside the glovebox, as the old cardboard liner had pretty much dissolved from the mouse pee.

Tragically, the "universal" bench seat cover that I picked up for $10 doesn't quite fit the front seat, a bit too narrow. I think it will fit the rear, I'll try that later.

Tomorrow if I don't have to run out to western ND to fly thunderstorms then I can go through the park lights in the grille, and then install that. Then we'll be looking good!
