The electrical was finished and checked out. There is a problem with one of the horns, which I'll trouble shoot in between things. The Steering wheel was completed as described above. I use a single phase gloss black for the final coats when painting. The shine was toned down with a rubbing compound.
The driveshaft arrived from Driveshaft Specialists (San Antonio TX). It took longer than expected as they broke some of their tooling when making the flanges. I needed to return the flange that bolts to the rear end as the rear end's nut stuck out to far, but it is now installed.
The repair on the left rear tail light made it through the horrors of plating and is now installed. I wasn't happy with the plating job on the stone shield and had them redo it (no cost as they agreed it wasn't the best of jobs). The shield is now installed (see photos to see how it was mounted).
The bumpers were worked on and are now on their way to be plated. It seems to be getting closest to get in and start the beast. The wife has informed me that I better not start it without her being present as well as several friends and neighbors. This it would appear to be either be a time of glory or a crash and burn affair with some embarrassment for the writer/mechanic.
