I need to find my camera and show the some of the cleaned up chrome. We have gotten the new wiring in and taped up in the engine department. We now have functioning:
1. Headlights & Highbeams
2. Parking Lights and turn signals, front and back
3. Ignition system
4. Generator and Charge gauge
5. Dashlights, Courtesy lights and interior lights
6. License plate light
7. Oil pressure gauge, though it appears to be reading backwards
8. Overdrive system

We have the wires run but not full hooked up:
1. Gas Tank/ gauge
2. Horn
3. Brake light switch
4. Heater blower

We also have an extra light fixture that we are almost positive we pulled from the dash. We cant figure out (remember) where it goes. I'll post a pic soon in the main forum for help placing it, as soon as i find that dang camera.

The brakes arrived from Kanter, and we will put them in this weekend. The only operational parts i need to get now is an Air Cleaner (?oil bath is what think it is), Choke control for the carb (that's the black cap on the side of the carb, right?), and a Heater control valve.

I wish I could put sound on here and you could all hear how well she runs. Its just amazing. Going from cold and silent to slowly filling with life is just to much fun.
