Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Just a few small updates, repainted the dash with a blue that closely resembled the original darker blue dash, its gloss not matte but oh well.

Used the GMC Pauls heater control repair kit, worked awesome, well made product. My heater control panel backing plate rivets had all broken and the unit was loose so I drilled out the rivets and counter sunk some stainless allen head bolts. Put the new decals over top and looks great. Very solid and controls work smoothly.

Got the gas tank installed. Used a filler neck grommet from GMC Pauls, way better quality than the one from Brothers I previously bought. Grommet went on pretty well, lots of cuss words and some blunt push tools helped.

Installed new fuel sending unit, need a few hose connections and ready to add fuel and turn the key...then wait for whatever starts on fire...
