January 1-9, 2020.

Slow going since Mrs. Rod has more "important" things for me to spend my time on.

I have been working on the dash area which is mostly cleaned up and repainted. I have reinstalled the wiper motor (and found out that it will NOT work if the switch is not grounded).

I ordered and received a repop speaker assembly and have it in the dash. I think I want to put some sort of cover over it to keep out dust and spilled coffee.

I picked a parts gauge panel off ebay, and have been studying how to put in some new gauges.

I would like to have an in dash tachometer. The tachometer option seems to be fairly rare (and pricey). I've checked out 4" tachs that would fit into the center bay of the bezel and a 2" tach that will fit into the extra gauge hole at the bottom next to the oil pressure gauge.
