    1963 Grand Prix

    in Pontiac Progression Place

    Well I was actually missing my reverse lights, the whole assembly. I spent a couple years off and on looking for them. I even tried putting different sockets in them. When I finally found them used the guy justa wanted too much for them. Couldn't justify paying that price so I decided the run the exhaust out them. A couple weeks after I enlarged the holes a 1/4" somebody posted a set for $85 on ebay. Go figure

    Well, figured I'd give yall an update. I never think about it because I don't find what am doing as interesting as what everybody else is doing. But here we are :lol: my garage is a mess right now, to many projects going on. Dont judge :D

    So I told yall about my dash pad getting messed up when the lady next door garage flooded. I have since striped it down and repadded it. I used the air stapler yesterday to attach a copper line to a piece of wood for a coffee pot I built, (long story), and today the damn thing wouldn't work to staple the dash cover onto the dash! Thats how my luck goes.

    I also showed you the spinner knob I was making, well it's NOT finished yet. I have to wait until the steering wheel is finished to size up the bracket. But I did make a matching shifter knob. Remember, her name is Rose. The first picture was right after I finished it, but it felt too wide and uncomfortable. The last pictures were after I cut a finger grove and tapered down the bottom. Much more comfortable.

    I am back to work on the steering wheel. I've got it down to a "good" size and justa need to apply another coat of acrylic to make it clear again. Hopefully that will be the last coat and then clean it up and repaint it. 

    The exhaust is completed, and the tips are coming out the bumper where the reverse lights used to be, (Wrongway's tip of the day: you only need back up lights if you drive backwards.) Well that put the brake hose that drops down to the rearend too close to the exhaust, so I moved that. Waiting for rain to stop so I can bleed the brakes.

    So first the back windshield trim was not difficult to remove.  I had all my chrome off and windshields out for paint bro. 2nd, the console looks awesome Ron! Gauges on the passengers side of console, great idea :D  and that adaptor looks great man, right at home, and I still love the seats!!! Hey, thanks for keeping us included in your journey with pics bro.
