As for projects. I need to swap out my rear shocks for one.

Clean/ restore my engine turned dash bezel.

Paint and attach my wheel flairs.

And get all of my dash lights working.

Maybe replace my steering box even though it's new it is really sloppy and I cand adjust the lash out of it.

Change tank sending unit
Figure out why my new gauges aren't working right, specifically, oil and speedo.

Thats about it for now, not much left to do. maybe get AC installed.

I actually did sort of a technical "winter prep" project on my 79' in that I had to replace the original heater core due to a small leak. Try doing that in record-breaking heat and sultry humidity.
