[BaadAssGremlins] Progress

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

I may finally get to drive this car in a couple of weeks. My friends
shop is now open again on saturdays. The heat is still here. Just
sitting assembling the dash it was so hot and humid the sweat just
poured off of me. I installed the crash pad to the freshly painted dash.
The top was painted with black SEM and the face was painted with gloss
enamel. I has been so hot that even the enamel dried with a slight haze
that I will have to polish out with tooth paste and corn starch and
water after it has dried for a few days. You can't use regular
automotive compound on fresh enamel and especially spray can enamel. I
pop riveted the cars original vin# tag to the new dash with aluminum pop
rivets. There was a big discussion a while back about the tags had
rivets with special heads and the cops could tell if you had changed the
vin. I don't know what these guys were talking about. Once the dash is
installed the rivet heads are not visible. The defroster ducting is
installed, I had to piece together 2 old gaskets to make one good one.
Since the dash is out I will neaten up the wiring and install the
harness I made for the Auto Meter gauges I installed in the factory pod.
What a job this car has been, 2 years now and almost 10,000$ for a daily
driver. With gas prices the way they are I am glad it is a 6 cyl 1 bbl.
Now to add the B&M trans pack and set it on firm after the tranny is
rebuilt.
