My wife was ecstatic to help me load my dashboard into the GTX this morning. Thanksgiving is coming and she thought it had become a permanent fixture on the dining room table.
The mass of wires under the dash is the old wiring harness still hooked up under the steering column to allow the car to start and drive. You can see the dangling ignition switch and key under the dash.
The new wiring harness has been installed to everything in the dash and requires I switch to the new bulkhead connector and complete the ammeter bypass under the hood. The red and black wires hanging out of the dash will go through the firewall to complete this process. Yes, I actually spliced into my brand new wiring harness to do this!
The Hellcat wants to know what this dusty old relic is doing taking up its garage space while it sits out in the rain.
Once the dash appears to all be functional, the front and year glass will go back in an the car will be driveable (without goggles, and yes, I have done that - LOL).
The rebuilt heat/AC unit can be seen under the dash. Classic Air in Tampa did the rebuild. I have until next summer to get the AC under the hood all done.
Radio bezel and AC vent chrome for dash is still at Spacecoast Chrome Plating in Melbourne, FL. Their three months should about be up.
Things are coming along - slowly.
