Screw it. $6.99 buys a new plastic switch. OK. Ordered (plus some new shocks).

I've seen heftier brake light switch brackets in my day! Sheesh! The tinware is rusty and the whole setup is rinky dink. The brake lights won't turn off, and I guess they were once adjustable at the brake pedal arm. Jeez, maybe I should just "T" in a real pressure switch type at the master...

f Quieting down: Shot some rubberized undercoating, and added some thermal sheilding.

Today's very simple task involved installing the new front turn signal lenses and gaskets, then of course a road test by the ocean was required, seein' as it's Memorial Day weekend and all the "Woodies on the Wharf" are gathering, etc.

Thanks mucho!

Thanks for the encouragement! Definitely want the shop manual and schematics next! I'm not against punting when I have to, but I'd rather restore to spec than modify unnecessarily. It will never be concours bait, but even if I do most things myself, I don't want to just kluge stuff on the...

I love the car. :thumbsup: On the dash lights, I'd say there's been plenty of folks here who have gone through the same thing with theirs (including me). Nothing a bunch of volt/ohm metering (and maybe some back-wrenching upside down under the dash) can't cure, trust me. You start posting up...

It's a driver. Great for Sunday joy rides by the ocean so far. I kind of like rumbling along to the dual exhaust music, while stinking out the Teslas behind me as I cruise by the National Marine Santuary (Monterey Bay). I can't see sinking tons of dough into it but it has potential as a...

Pacific! I'm on the California coast about 70 miles South of San Francisco.

Mine is bare steel above and below. Stripped except for seats and door panels. Original color a bit more light brown. It got hit and repainted by Miracle Auto maybe 15 years ago. Slightly more yellow/cream now.

Looks like it. That may be from the owner previous to the owner I bought it from for $4k. They did some work to it, but ultimately wanted to put more money into a couple other sixties MOPARS they had. The Ebay add I saw that certainly was this car has been taken down as soon as I bought it. I...

Nice! A friend had a Roadrunner when I was in the service a buzzilion years ago. It had a 383 (but was no 10.60 ET car). No Grabber hood. Can't remember if 4-speed or auto. Another guy in the barracks had a 390 Javelin. The MOPAR could beat him early on, but once the launching was fading that...

It was too easy just to buy a new aftermarket kit (cheap stainless bubble pack of parts) and use the exiting holes. Took all of fifteen minutes this morning. Must have been the same stuff as before. I already had some lil' ol' Master locks with a common key, for pistol cases, range bags, etc...
