43 Days 'til Dayton. The glass is in. The installer did a nice clean butyl job. Everything is now on the outside of the car except wipers and antenna mast. I installed the drip rails and grilles. I used the aqua trunk mats because they look better with this color car. The jack and spare are installed. I have a more correct wing nut/washer and hook coming. Is this the correct placement for the jack mechanism? Also, they sell a sticker for the 64 jack, but I haven't installed it yet. Is that another one like the "Don't spill fuel" sticker that maybe shouldn't be there?

So now I've moved on to electrical debugging. Several issues. The first is no brake lights and no front left turn signal. I've got power in and out of the brake switch, so I figured it was the new turn signal switch I installed. I found my old one from the pile of don't throw away parts and plugged it in and all's well. Shouldn't have changed it. So this afternoon's project will be swapping out the turn signal switch. I hope not to remove the whole column and do it in the car. We'll see.

Other electrical issues:
-The two speed wipers don't park. I checked the ground, no change. I've got another motor on order. I thought I bench tested this one, but must not have checked for park.
-Underdash courtesy light not working (dome works).
-Console courtesy light not working (glove box works, console box works).
-Fried two of my new T3's when first turned on, they smoked inside the bulbs, crap parts. Another set is on order.
-RR Defroster works, but squeals. I had that motor all apart and bench tested with no issues also. I must have bound something up installing it.

And the saga continues...
