69 Satellite

She moved under her own power and it just leaked out if the overflow hose like it should. Need to get the air out and coolant level topped and we'll be good. Clutch is sensitive. (Edit spelling)

Looked like you had a duplex up by one of the lights, were u not concerned about fumes getting into it and cause a fire?

I taped over the exposed plugs, and the connectors made a tight fit. I felt safe enough with the small measures I took to minimize any major risk. I was more worried about the heat generated by the leds causing auto ignition. They were hot. My exhaust was floor level, with 3 explosive proof fans pulling pretty good airflow and overspray cleared pretty quick.
 
Radio works, sounds pretty good. Nice setup retrosound made. Its nice if a part breaks all that needs changed is that part

Installed/tuned the M/E wagner PVC valve. Nice engineering, easy instructions. Cant tell much right now since still tuning everthing, but its suppose to work better at idle and at speed. (Yeah the two plug wires need fixed, but that is keeping them from melting for now)

Cleaned up the old steering wheel, 3000grit and 45min. Not perfect by any means but looks better, still more to do with it.

Vinyl looks better today except my screwup with a crease, probably have to make a slice to get it to lay out. Put some extra sound deadner on top of the lizardskin. Headliner in today, just needs glued and clipped.

Glued up the front and installed the trim mounting tabs, seemed a tek screw was what most people used to make sure the didnt fall out so thats how we went. Also wheels are cut, powder coated and have the 1st round of polishing. Still needs more polishing and the outer rim installed along with the tires.
