67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
Well this past weekend I went home to work on the cars for a bit. And!! good news! I found the Map Light Switch! Apparently I put it in with the box that had the other remaining parts for the dash board... Dont know why I didnt look there before. But I was able to finish drilling the dash for that switch. I also drilled the dash for the reverse light indicator and connected that to the purple wire that goes back to the reverse lights.
I also got to install the ignition light. I installed the wiring last time but once I was playing around with it the last time I was in I noticed the bracket securing the chrome ignition switch surround had to be modified to get it to work. I got that done and tried to install everything but noticed I wasnt able to get the ignition switch securing nut on. Which is when I realized I need to have the bracket for the ignition light between the chrome surround and its bracket, instead of between the bracket and ignition switch. No big deal, got the chrome surround drilled and everything is back in.
I got the steering column bolted in and noticed the studs that were to mount the column bracket to the underside of the dash were installed wrong. Got those corrected.
I was able to get the tach wired up, shifter handle installed, and column installed! Couldnt stop there so I mounted the seats in and got the steering wheel and horn ring on. It looks sweet!!
So I just need to get the spring pin in for the column, fuel line to fuel pump rubber line installed, tires on the car, shocks, put the coolant back in, bleed the brakes, add steering fluid in, finishing tighten the exhaust, check fluids in trans and rear end and we should be good to go!
