Weather was nice so I decided to sneak up on the driving range when no one is around.

haha.  I don't know what I'm going to do with the radio.  I have the 8-track but nothing else.  I do have an 80's Pioneer knob style radio that works that I might put in there.

My octopus is getting under control. I think I will change them out for OE style wires because I think #7 is bad because the header is leaking right on it and when it gets hot there's a little miss. 

All in all it's coming along.  The car has a love/hate relationship with me though.  For every little thing I do I have more in return to do :)

Do you guys think I should put a 5/8" pinstripe on the sides where the bodyline is and have it end curling up just past the side windows???  There's an awful lot of white!!!!

Hey, does anyone know if the winshield wiper motor I have is the correct one for this year?  I don't have any plugs that come close to what's on the motor's connectors.

Thanks guys.  Actually I think I may sell it.  I have my eye on another project.  What would something like this bring?  Should I just put it on Ebay and cross my fingers????

If you had a car like this in Norway you would probably bring loads of money :P
But why sell it? I can't think of a lot more fun then a 455\4-spd ;)
