I really had my doubts in being able to do this but figured I'd never learn if I didn't take the chance. Also had doubts in taking a fresh paint job and scratching the hell out of it with sandpaper. Once I got to the polishing though and started seeing the improvements with each step I damn near pissed myself with how good it looks.

You also just polish an extremely difficult area. in fact, burning the paint in on contours ilike that is very easy to do. I'm definately impressed. It just goes to show what guys can do if they set their minds to it.

They all have printed on them what they're for about every 6". It's the same wiring harness that's in the Cat. Me and the Brit bought them together last summer.

Very nice, and I noticed the "this side up" arrow... now does that help with the wiring, or the sanding?

Gauge assembly is in, headlights are wired and work, wipers work (unlike the Brit's ), and the ignition is ready to go. Gauge needles have been repainted and so have the bezels. Things are coming together now. I have to do the brake, neutral safety, and directional switches and the heater. Then the dash is done except for the new gauges I'm adding this year. I'm down to trunk pan, rear wiring, rebuilding carbs, and reinstalling the transmission.
