    She’s the middle one and always my car show girl. They grow too fast! She helped never dull that chrome.

    if they did make a patch panel for that it would be more difficult to make work than fixing the original. most patch panels suck and require work to the point where many times if you have the skill to make a patch panel work you have the skill to make your own or fix what you have.

    it's just metal.

Have headlights and turn signals new wiring in. Have all under hood wiring harness out and new one in. Half of it out under dash. Orig paint code starlight blue. Didn’t break a single bolt everything came out easy even the seat
     
  4. Good stuff! Now that you have let your daughter behind the tiller, you'll never get her out! If you are after a visor, don't forget that all the 4 door G.M.'s of that year used the same roof, so Chevy, Olds, etc will fit.

    Got the wiring harness in finally. Rear quarter panel fixed and the 2 dents in roof and one in door. Fixed some rust in floor. Changed oil and finally started it today runs great. Wipers work heater blower works. Tailights, headlights, interior lights, and license plate lights work but not blinkers yet. Been a long 2 weeks of working on it making progress. Tires came need to sand and paint the rims and mount those. Took the radio out all the tubes light up but no static maybe needs to be outside of the garage to work. Idk. Anyone know if the square plug comes off or the 6point bigger bolt comes off to check the transmission? Still have to fig out the horn, backup light switch, and neutral safety switch yet. That are all attached to the column
