Get Running & Driving 2-1965 Dodge Dart

This week I got the interior gutted (not the dash yet), disinfected all the surfaces with a vinegar solution and let it dry out a couple days. Then Wednesday I rolled her out of the garage and washed/rinsed really well with soapy water. Trying to get all the mousy smell out, got pretty close but I think there is still some nook and crannies to get to but so much better now smell wise.

I also today got to the engine compartment and pulled the wiring harness. My guess is this is why the car was put up on blocks 30 years ago. The harness at and near the bulkhead connector is toasty in several places. See pics. Going t lay it out and unwrap it for further inspection, but not looking too good at this point. Interestingly, the bulkhead connector itself looks to be in pretty fair condition.
