Hey, thanks, Kirk.
I hope I can get the dash installed now that the steering column is painted... Meanwhile here's a shot of it outside- in the daylight.

The past 2 days: installed the Super Wagoneer linkage, buttoned up the tranny cover, installed the dash (hooked up the gauges, switches and lights), re-did the steering column and I still don't like the way that column turned out... Round three will come later. I then spent several hours digging thru my stash of spare parts of the horn button and prepping the Super Wagoneer horn button for paint... Pics soon.

I test ft the front driveline ... Hey! She's front wheel drive until I can save up to have the rear driveline cut down to size. So now I've got to get a new windshield installed, fab up a screen for the induction hood, line-x the driver's side floor, fab brackets for the 96ish mustang convertible seat on the driver's side, and buy new shocks... And put on the white wall tires! Meanwhile she can tote me around the block just to double check it all works the way it's supposed to work. Yippee!
Oh yeah, I built a new glove box liner and upholstered it to match, too.
I am trying to figure out a way to insulate the firewall better than factory and not ruin anything in the event it all needs to come back out later.... Still thinking...
