Got the forward light harness installed along with getting all the A/C lines cut and fit.....I'll get them crimped tomorrow and installed for the last time....I also will get the power steering hoses made tomorrow ...........



I also figured out where to mount the ECM and the trans module.....I'll make a common mounting plate to mount them on and it will get bolted to the inner fender panel (not too many options as I have to go where the harness will let me)Wires everywhere..........Dave will have to blend everything together





I did my part......Got the headlights and Horn relay wired......Time for a Nap!!

Ken, I'm glad this &quot;setback&quot; to your health was caught early. You, your ambition, and your work ethic are an inspiration to me and many others here. Glad you're OK.

The Windshield will be installed later this week and another one of those PITA deals to deal with are the windshield clips......the screws sent in the Repro kit with the clips didn't have a chance in hell of working......Again.....these guys sell this crap and we get stuck trying to make it work.....Lucky for me, I have a complete machine shop to play with, but the average guy in his garage would be screwed trying to fix this little problem......Anyhow, here's a before and after of the screws......





Screwed in.............



Clip installed..........



I also got all the A/C lines finished and installed along with the heater hoses........I ordered some of those heat shrink clamps this time.........we will see how good they work.....






I also got the ECM and the TCM mounted on the inner fender panel.....



The list of things to do is still long......but, it's getting shorter...

The clamps work awesome. They are a PITA if you have to remove something. I started to use them on most everything that is not a resto.

Looks good Ken!
