Only work I got done today was when I went to show my mom the car today and realized my garage flooded. So I shoveled water and build a barrier and moved parts around for about an hour. Then I tried to do home work and got almost none done. But I did get some snickers ice cream bars. MMMMMM ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Yeah this project has been two steps forward one step back the entire time. It is all the “small projects” that are KILLING me. Hell if I didn’t decide to change the interior and found that mess and go with a different exhaust the damn thing would be done. ☹ I should be done by this weekend…at least that will be done. :tup: I’ll call you as soon as I got everything finished. ---

Wow just ordered pillow balls and new headlight trim. That was $600 I was not in the mood to spend. I still have another $500ish in window moldings and door seals I think I am going to buy as well. This is the part of a build that really just kills you. I am really making this car 100% and it is killing me. 🖕 ---

> [@brent\_strong](#): > > Those pillowballs kill ya…but I’ve heard they make a HUGE difference. Yeah I just do not want to leave anything out of the build. The rear was already clunking which was probably them. I am going to have to keep this car for life to justify this build haha. ---

Little update…I got the Cruise Control, Rear Defroster Switch, Fog Switch, and HL Retractor Switch finished…it is looking badass. I pulled them all apart, cleaned them, and re-greased contacts. Also the rear defroster switch had a giant chunk missing. I patched it as best as I could…it is definitely better but still noticeable. The CC was the worst…I had to epoxy the switch as it was cracked in 8 places but it is all good now. I also changed out the little “On” indicator light to green for you. I know we did not think/talk about that but it looks…:tup:…but we can always change it if you dont like it. All the solder joints are RTV’d for strain relief. HVAC needs some serious work…not sure how much I be able to do. It was missing a twist lock bulb (Got one laying around?), the rheostats are loose, and it was DIRTY. I can definitely make it better but the symbols are filtered red/orange. Really the only thing I can do is make them brighter. I will keep at it though. ---

Luke is the man! Maybe my heat will work someday? hahaha So tonight Craig, sobo, and myself flushed the brakes and then filled it and bled ATE super blue. Then sobo and I worked on the sound deadening MORE! FML I can not believe how much we have fought this crap. I will say that tomorrow will be the last day and I swear it will be done! Anything left after tomorrow is staying in the car. No pics as I do not have a camera and Ian wasn’t here lol. ---
