Minnesota Gold

Nothing like doing something that's both frustrating and awkward.

...yeah, and of course I'm getting froggy. Been ball to the wall on this thing for months. This is just a bit of a nut punch.
 
Mn Gold has lights!!!!

Took everything apart, cleaned it out in some new stuff here and there. Got a few gremlins still, but progress made.

1. Issue: when I use the turn signals it wants to blink both tail lights

2. Issue: Headlights come on, but right one does not come on when not in high beam
 
I would try a different headlight, if you haven’t. Possible t/s switch problem, poor ground for taillights?

New harness, ground seems ok, but it’s interesting that both tail lights blink like an emergency brake . Interesting
 
Ok, almost ready for seats. It seems I may have misplaced the two bolts to affix the rear back seat upper . Can anyone verify what those two bolts look like?

Check the high beam switch those tend to burn and give you headlight issues. I just replaced mine and added a new pigtail solved two problems

no headlights sometimes and a burnt plastic smell

Replaced it, along with a vintage NOS headlight switch I'd been hoarding. Works great now.
 
Front seats looking good . Sort of sprinting to the finish a bit, but all that’s left is the top, and I’m getting that done.

I was going to take a look at my Belvedere to see exactly what was there and there was nothing that looks anything like your bracket. I'm wondering if I knocked them out or if it's different because my car is not a convertible? I took my back seat out years ago while I was still driving it because I was sort of using it as a truck back then......
 
.....note the callus on the man hands. Yeah buddy, I still work for a living.
Most of my calluses are gone. My job decided that we were getting too many cuts on our hands and made us wear gloves. It was a pita at first because if you were running a lathe, you couldn't wear them but had to once you stopped and was handling materials. At first they even wanted us wear gloves while measuring parts. Yeah right.....use a mic with gloves on. I just laughed. Anyways, got used to wearing gloves for the dirty rough stuff and noticed pretty quick that minor cuts etc went away.
