All i have to say is I love the driveway
It would have oil spots all over it
If it was mine
It would have oil spots all over it
If it was mine
It does but I try to stay on top of it
Maybe when I redo mine I'll do something nice by the house
Then have a junk car parking area

Easy installation perfect fit not one complaint did it in my Driveway with a jack used original tips and everything when together like a glove. When I get it back on the lift I’ll take some pictures.
Classic exhaust nailed it perfect

I've always kinda wondered if your neighbors raised hell every time you drag a new project in....lol. Looks like you live in a pretty nice neighborhood, and I love your paver driveway too.
They all support me. Especially when they need a little help on cars. I’ve only been here a little over 35 years.

My first house the zoning would come around once a year and complain about my cars (unregistered) would move stuff around
Hide and junk stuff
Made sure I don't need to do that anymore 6 ac. And no neighbors

i Keep My house immaculate and driveway clean and clear. A few days might be cluttered, but always managed. And Chinese are buying everything in this area, so I can’t even understand if they complain. And don’t really care. They are always going through recycling garbage for plastic bottles.
And your car shows your attention to detail

I believe this is his best one to date!
Exactly 4 months to the day of purchase a full transformation needing a few minor touches yet to come.
Only issue I have unknown but suspected it’s after disconnect of battery and reconnects after a few minutes 2-3 interior lights come on and all accessories work without key in the on position. Suspected bad ignition switch???? Any thoughts please share………. Tomorrow I’ll put the oil pressure switch in, have exhaust welded in. Bleed the brakes and take it for a good run. Drove it today for 2 miles watching temperature. Everything looks great!! Other than the accessory’s going on when key is off

Does it still have the ignition switch that come in it when you got it? If you swapped the switch from the 69 parts car to this car, the switches may be different year to year. I didn't scroll back thru the thread to see if you removed the dash frame, but if you did, and everything got painted and then carefully put back in place....you may have a grounding issue. I always make sure to leave a bare metal spot where the lower bolts at the kick panel area hold the dash frame. I also leave a bare metal spot on the back side of that bolt area of the dash frame. I always put some silicone electrical grease between those places to prevent corrosion. Most instrument clusters have at least one screw that goes thru the cluster metal body and into the dash frame to ground it to the dash frame. If you can get a free factory service manual off of MyMopar.com, you can look that up to see without tearing the cluster back out. I restored a Superbird back in the 80's, and when it was done, all of the lights and electrical stuff acted possessed by evil spirits or something....lol. Ended up being grounding issues all over the car where everything was painted and not making a ground. I despise electrical problems because they can be such a pain to figure out. 
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.
Put an old style (bulb type)
Test light on the pos battery cable
Then go around seeing if it lights on what should be ground
Sometimes it will make stuff work that didn't

I have the factory manuals. Went through the grounds as well…. Original ignition switch. I suspect it’s bad due to other issues and gauges not working prior to the exchange of 69 parts. Easy way to find out I have another 68 ignition switch. Just have to drop the ac vents. Also have to place the speedo cable back in I missed aligned it when reinstalling the gauges. Thank you great advice to refer to.

If the switch is bad, that will be about the simplest fix a guy could ask for.
AGREED!!!!!!If the switch is bad, that will be about the simplest fix a guy could ask for.
Crazy thing is not blowing any fuses,
Everything is working without overload?
When key is off all things on accessories are on including signals, wipers, radio, blower motor

I was able to get ign switch out of my AC '69 by dropping the AC vent down. Not easy to wiggle it out but very doable.
or something back feeding into the accessory circuit
if switch doesn't fix it start unplugging one thing at a time might be your 4-ways ,back feeding
