What did you get done this week Christmas edition

On the 76 i installed a factory AM FM radio and the new dash panel. The upholsterer has more excuses than Jimmy Carter had liver spots so no seat or headliner yet, and on the 79 I finally got the horn straightened out.. turns out the turn signal cancelling cam kept launching out the pin tor the horn contact. Replaced the cam new spring and contact set up and im done. Finally took it out for a ride and man its just something cool to drive a square through town...
How about you all????

Re: What did you get done this week Christmas edition

rebuilt my old toolbox and put in the new truck and made a organizer for it from scrap 2x6 chunks i had .

its a old kanack box now weatherguard brand . this thing is huge

the floor got rusted out from being on my old flatbed truck with parts of its floor missing letting road crap splash on it . so i remade the floor with some new 18ga and a buddy helped with his bead roller for stiffining strips .

I rigged up some temporary tips on my exhaust until I can scrape up the money to get it done right. it's a little quieter now.

Thats cool! I'm trying to buy one from the museum I volunteer at. We had it as e Display" several years ago, and I want to change the red and blue covers to yellow. I'll use it to draw attention to my car show I want to get started again for the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life.

Re: What did you get done this week Christmas edition

Pulled the Dakota digital instrument cluster to chase a ground issue. And noticed that two mounts on the cluster are broke (plastic) so I'll have to fix that as well.

I will also check the driveline angles again because I switched the TR6060 for a T56 magnum.
