'66 Pontiac Resto-Mod Update

[wmhjr]

Thanks guys. Yesterday was a little bit of a disappointment. My buddy who is helping me with the wiring came over, but almost immediately got called away to work. As a result, my work force was cut by 50% and it had an impact. The wiring is hopefully done at this point to allow the carpet and interior to be installed. I'll know more later today. I have some concerns - normally a non-issue but timing is really becoming critical. Because the car absolutely must be delivered today for glass to be installed, and the trunk upholstery to be finished so that we'll make the show, time is critical. I didn't want to load the car after dark since I've not hooked up my interior trailer lights and didn't want to risk damage in the dark, which required me to call off work today so I can load and deliver.

So the next problem was the weather. It's been snowing, and the roads are ice covered. My daughter got stuck in my driveway this morning - almost sliding into a tree. There is ice under the snow, so even the plow isn't having much of an effect. I'm going to try and load the car after lunch and transport it then. It's only about 8 miles of a drive, but the roads really suck.

An additional problem is that the brake controller failed in my truck, AND that the washer fluid in the reservoir must be really crap because it froze the reservoir like a brick. Also, the Dodge 2500 Diesels have a reservoir that is trapped by the wiring box and the radiator/intercooler assembly that makes removing it a ridiculous job. After about 6 hours I got it thawed :(

I'm currently waiting for an announcement of the plague and am only happy because at this time of year it is unlikely that swarms of locusts will appear. Everything else seems to be happening.
