65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

Well, another day with 3 or 5 steps back! Had to pull the the HVAC controller AGAIN!! Found out the pushbuttons cannot be installed with the controller installed as the buttons need to be installed from the top and then rotated down to the position where they come through the bezel which is secured to the cluster. And of course to position the controller where the buttons can be installed, the temperature cable needs to he disconnected. Finally got everything squared away.

And also discovered the rear end still has a very small leak - i hate leaks. So while my buddy was here, he pulled the brakes and axles and the pumpkin. We discovered some kind of residue on the mating flange of the pumpkin and got it all cleaned up as well as the face of the rear end. Went to reassemble it and the extra gasket I bought some time ago is from what looks like one for an 8.25. Nobody within 40 miles has one but Advance said they can have one tomorrow morning.

The day wasn’t a complete bust as I got all the rear seat trim polished and got a start on installing it - forgot to take pictures! Maybe after I finish the installation tomorrow.
