Wiring, tuning and detailing....

Now that the old Gal (the plate actually says OUR GAL) is of the lift I was able to do a bunch of wiring, fix a broken tach pedestal detial the engine bay. I left the tune-up until tomorrow when it's supposed to be warmer and I won't have to use the exhuast hoses out the door.




On saturday I went out to put another couple of coats of "trim black" (a semi-gloss color that looks very factory on various trim, engine and suspension parts). My youngest son, Colton came with me to inspect the changes in our favrouite summer ride. He got in, got re-aquainted with the stuffed toy who resides on the dash of the Galaxie and proceded to go through all the functions on the new stereo's remote unit. Of course now that he's developed a sense of music and has his own specific tastes (LMFAO...) he informed me the Beatles sucked. Anywas, it was nice to have him out for a while and soon his brother Colby joined him. It almost seemed like summer...


 
As an interlude, here's a few photo's of my past projects to look at:
