Got a switch on it's way ... That was a bit of a hunt ... Next to do is what buzzer I will like ... ? Think I'm going to do my own alarm sound ..

Seems that the key buzzer switch is going to be hard item to find .. Not having much luck on locating a new one ... Back to the junkyards .... That little part has the column on hold, had a full head of steam toward completing the assembly until I tried loading the 77 switch in the 75...

Well how about that !?! Got lucky with the rebuild on the steering column .. What I'm using is out of a 1975 Cadillac Coupe De Ville ( Cut down to fit ) It was a bit on the loose side being in use for 40+ years. Needed a few parts to freshen it back up .. Tried to find Nos pats but soon gave...

All I got to say about doing that job is ... Dang good thing I'm bald or I'd be pulling my hair out !!

Two knobs away from having all the parts ... Gauges turned out looking good ... Got them all to a close match to each other now ... The convex lens sure did make a difference ..

Just as soon as I hit the lottery .. ! Also will be buying a car that those boys are in the mist of building .. This car is bad-ass as they come, it's a 53 Vette on a C8 chassis ... They bought a brand new C8, peeled the body off of it and putting on custom made 53 Vette skin ! That's right a...

Here's a good one ... Don't see many IH R Serie trucks around anymore .. They was made from 1953 to 1955 ... 1954 was the first year for the 100 model ... Yesterday made a road trip to Harbor Freight in Ocala for a set of hole transfer punches ... Needed them to finish the install of the...

Well, so much for me thinking this would be easy .. Dang windshield wiper stuff is taking up a lot of space that the power vent hardware needs to function ... More thought and fab work on my part is needed to go down .. The arm that I made up needs two inches of swing ... Got it working ...

That's as far forward the shifter will go, it's in the four wheel Low mode ... I was shooting windage with the location of the transfer case shifter ... If I had mounted the transfer shifter much further forward I would have needed a shorter stick or redo the location on where I mounted the...

Humidity did it .... Here in Florida we been seeing a afternoon shower for the past 6 weeks ... 90 to 95 % humidity is common ... Guess I will wait for a day that's 70 % or less to try again .. ( That will give me time to sand, shoot another base coat and print the pattern on )
