What I still need to fix...

Well, here's a laundry list of what still needs to be done to the old girl:
  • Radio no worky. It doesn't help that all the tubes were missing. Thanks to my old High School Electronics teacher (props to you, Del!) I got replacements for them all. It comes on now, but no audio :( To be continued...
  • Dash clock. I thought that might be an easy fix, but when I opened it up, one of the spindles on a tiny gear was broken. Grrr. Double grrr. Well, at least it looks nice.
  • Carpeting. Yup. Naaaaasty.
  • Door panels. Dodge used a cloth material that doesn't age well. This isn't that big of a deal.
  • Front bumper needs to be re-chromed, or I need to find someone who has a decent used one.
  • Cracked rear passenger window. Most auto glass places can supply a good replacement.
  • Exhaust pipe. In bad condition. Some guy has one on e-Bay, but he wants almost $90 for it, plus whatever shipping is involved. I'm pretty sure I can get one of the local muffler shops to do one for me.

As you can see. lots to do, but for me, this is fun work and I really don't care how long it takes. The excitement is in the doing!
