1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word

This is not the update I was hoping to make... I didn't pass my inspection, but I didn't fail it either. There were two super nice officers who explained right as they started they were skeptical they'd be able to complete the inspection. They said they needed to match "secret numbers from the factory. That could mean putting the car on the lift to inspect above the frame rail with a dental mirror, or removing the blower motor." They sent me inside the office while they started the inspection, but one officer came out 10 minutes later and said I'd need to come back next week. He was very nice and tried to be accommodating and said I could come in whenever they were open, so that was cool. He said it could take up to an hour to do the inspection though. I'd never heard of anything like this before and I can only assume it's because of the dismantled title status, rather than salvage.

Oh, shortly after I popped my hood open, one of the officers said "I like that engine bracket!" referring to my license plate heat shield. Hahaha

The car drove great again, and the leaks I addressed since the last real drive seem to be fixed. Power steering shaft seal, thermostat housing, trans shift selector seal and tail shaft seal looked good, no drips on the ground.

So, I wait until Tuesday. Again.

While I wait, I'm going to redo my kill switch. I originally set it up to interrupt the ignition run circuit feed. I was concerned the wiring on the switch and the switch itself may not handle the current. After I discovered the car was charging at 16 volts, I removed the kill switch and checked again, and it dropped to 14 volts. I'm going to instead use the kill switch to trigger a relay that will open or close the ignition circuit.
