We had an above freezing day a week or so ago so I pushed the car outside and hosed out the interior. There was a lot of dust and crap from them sanding the primer and a vacuum cleaner just wasn't cutting it.

Got the estimate for having the gauges restored - $3000. No estimate of when they'll be finished. Got an email from Autos International, they say the carpet kit and tonneau cover should be here next week.

I have GOT to get my ass in gear!!

I noticed that the hood wasn't closing right. On investigation I found the paint shop used the wrong screws to install the hood seal. They were sticking up 1/2 an inch and holding the hood up. You can't get to some of the screws with the hood in place, so Vicki and I removed it. That was a real nail biter! There was the same mess of dust and crap under the hood, so I took the gas tank out and waited for another warmish day to push the car back outside an hose out the under-hood area.

It feels like I'm going backwards, but it all needed to be done.

To add a little bling I I cleaned up the headlights units and installed them.
