Rocky Start Resto..
Start of the new year. Pushing for a deadline. Still cold here and it seems to be raining every day wrong coast....it feels like British Columbia :)
Pushed the car back into the garage and jacked it up. Pulled the old speedo gear drive and installed the new one I got from 65Val. Thanks again ! Put the new autometer sender on and due to space limitations, cannot seem to get a wrench on it. Am dropping out to my mechanic tomorrow, there may be a skinny wrench for this situation. If no, we will have to pull off the trans mount and perhaps the exhaust.
My son, reading the manual.

Wires, wires everywhere. Now I understand why Plymouth went with printed circuit boards..with the gauges, tach and speedo sender, it looks like a dogs breakfast..thankfully, I have been labeling them as I go along..just waiting to receive some info on a sending unit, then I can install the gauge cluster.

Yeah ! We installed the steering column. After we received so help from fabo, and we discovered it was much easier after we unlocked the column, it all went in.
With this, the boss sized up the location of the drivers seat and noted that it had to be moved a couple inches to the left. His humble servant will do that tomorrow.
I have made adjustment to the console..we are waiting after we install the carpets for the final install.
The tach holder from motopsycho fits perfectly.
Still struggling with the wiring under the bonnet..I swear the stuff is multiplying when I am not watching..
