Finished up my shift console and vent controls. Did my 69 car also.
Sanded and painted my gauge console.

Bought a date correct starter from ChevyCool.
Tore apart my smog pump, removed the vanes and then cleaned it up.

Attempted to rebuild my alternator and install the correct pulley. After install I almost burned up the car so I had to splice in a section of new wiring to the starter. I used a piece of original wiring from my 69’s old harness.
The alternator then came back off and went to the local rebuilder to fix my work.

Rebuilt my date correct water pump and then painted it.
Painted my exhaust manifolds.

Washed my seatbelts.
Found a correct MC cap.
Found a correct radiator cap.
