Thanks. I've seen the ODHFS news letter. It was a real surprise. Your assesment of those pictures is right on target! It does look great. :-)
As for the electrical, I found the problem... It was a wire that came loose and moved over. It was touching the other post on the ignition switch and bypassing the switch. I must have bumped it while I was installing the speedometer adapter(it still doesn't work) behind the dash.
