I thought I would post an update since its been a couple of weeks. I'm kinda stuck now. I'm waiting on the top installer to get the top delivered to his shop. I'm told it will be there in a couple of weeks. I'm waiting on the chromer so I can get the door windows done and all the stainless on. I'm told by him that he is almost done and I can pick it up next week. I did get the sunvisors in from Dante today. So I'm gonna put them on. And I want to change out the oil in the rear. I installed all the seat belts last week. Member 68SportSatvert is hooking me up with the correct rear view mirror. My turn signals are a little funny. They work great but the passenger side markers don't come on or blink when signaling right. Hazard lights work fine. So I ordered a new turn signal switch. Waiting on that to come in. Need to get the car aligned and inspected. I got the car registered and tagged this week. I also submitted for a vanity plate. I'm still hoping to make Carlisle In the meanwhile, its spring. So I did a weeks worth of yard work and I opened the pool

great stuff Tom.....I would go over all the signal grounds. When I finished my GTX the side markers and tail lights were problematic due to the new paint which served as a great insulator preventing the grounds that are required.
are you divulging the vanity plate?

Will do, I'll go over them grounds again. Just seems odd that the hazards blink good, but turn signals don't blink the passenger side markers front or back.
The side markers blink with the hazards and its all the same body wiring.
Here's the vanity plate It'll look like a regular issue plate unless your a mopar nut

That's a great idea! I was thinking about a vanity plate but wanted somthing classier than the usual..... I better check and see if WM23V0A is available!
Dave
thanks Dave, We'll see what it looks like when it gets here. It should arrive before Carlisle.
The Clerk asked what I wanted so she could check to make sure its still available. I gave her RM27N0G and she said no need to worry and laughed

did you have work done to the trim or just polished?
I had them take out the small dings and bends. But they weren't to bad to begin with.
All trim polished and pot metal chromed.
I used Frankford plating. They have had a couple bad reviews but I went with them for a couple of reasons.
1- They did work for me a couple of years ago and the stuff turned out good.
2- They are 35 minutes away. So I could stop in at any time if needed.
They turned everything around in 8 weeks. So I was happy

thanks Joe, I just took the victory lap about an hour ago! Actually two laps around the development since the first lap went so well!
I'm stoked! I'm trying to make my Carlisle goal.
It goes in for the top on Friday June 3rd
