All right… We’re almost there Buddy!

Shifter rod cup front edge had worn away, pops out going into R,2, & 3 Welded and ground it back to shape. Works great now!!

Adjusted the drag link to center the steering wheel, then fit and installed the pedal pan.

 

Driver side taillight housing was missing the screw terminal wire connector. I had no luck finding one around here. Had to compromise and use a later model spade terminal.

Rear turn signals were acting up. Tracked it down to a broken connection in the t-signal switch. Black/red wire had broken loose, forgot to take that pic. Good to go now.

We will build it if it comes.
