Thanks, guys.

Alright, been a little while. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year. (argh! curse you burnt out Christmas light!)



Okay, so a lot of my family got me gift cards for Jegs, Ecklers, Summit, and Amazon. So, shortly after Christmas, I had a couple of things show up on my doorstep.



Well, shortly after that, cold, rainey weather, work stuff, and a six year old dominated my time. BUT I finally found myself back in the garage. No pictures on this one, but rolled out the 1/4" Dynaliner on top of the Dynamat inside the cab. Started wrapping up the wiring and everything was working, except the headlights. Check all the grounds, fuses, and tested all connections. Think I traced it down to the dimmer switch on the floor board. Local parts did not have it, so I ordered it (A little left on the Gift Card!)
While I wait on that, I shift over to brakes. Installed the new master cylinder and started work on the stainless lines.

Realized I had to remove the subframe connectors and DS loop to run them right, but got 'er done. (one good thing about bolt in )



Looked around and admiring the bottom of the car and wow, the rear-end yoke looks like a$$ compared to the rest of it. haha



Anyway, I got the dimmer switch in and I was skeptical, but I hooked it up and voila! All lights working. So I decided to start buttoning up the front and put he grill back in.

...and even the bumper. A quick light check and we are looking good.

That's it for now. I am trying to dedicate an hour each night during the week to work on this thing. Hopefully I can keep it going until the weekend. Spring is quickly approaching. Gotta pull the 383 back out of plastic wrap and do some finishing touches to prepare to drop it back in soon. That'll drop the front in down where it should be too!

Everyone's projects are looking great! ...and thanks for lookin' at mine!
