Got a little more time to work on the patrician over the holidays. I got the rear axle cover seal installed, and the pinion seal installed as well. The rear tires are on it and its back on the ground awaiting fluid. I inspected the fuel filter again and there was still a good amount of rust looking sediment in the bottom of the glass bowl. The only thing I can think of is the rebuilt ford fuel pump since everything else is new (put in another new fuel tank). I may get a mopar pump and keep in the trunk just in case. but just in case I installed a new ceramic filter (was a little too tall) so we will see if that causes a leak, and I put another inline fuel filter just after the pump.

I installed the refurbished kick panels, and I measured everything up for the a/c hoses. I will try and get them on order since they are finally back from the holidays. I also took some time on the horn. I installed some washers behind the horn ring and I am able to get the horn to consistently blow by pressing the center of the wheel, pushing the rim does not work. Not to sure if I want to install longer spacers or not. I also used the headlight polish stuff on the center horn button. Looks pretty darn snazzy! I will try it again before I install it.
