55 E/G – New old ride

Just watched the 2009 video of the Dover reunion at the track and at Sam’s. That was great to watch again in that snow storm. It is still amazing how fast time passes by, that was more than 4 years and 4 nostalgia races ago.

The snow up there now is worse than in 2009. I think of it as a fun time but only if everyone has power, food and drink and no place they need to go out to anytime soon.

Still making progress on the 55. The front end is done. The headlights are fiberglassed in place, the wiring is done up to the firewall, a quick disconnect is wired in place and the lights work. It now has low beam, high beam and both signal lights.

The Tilt column is in place to stay but it took about 20 tries to be satisfied it was right. The four harness connectors are plugged into the column and now comes the fun wiring.

I did say the wiring would be easier with the tilt column and I guess it is but easier is the wrong word. Still lots of work to get all the wires in the right places. Been working for days and it is getting closer but still a ways off. I was hoping to get a license plate this week but depends how it goes in the next couple of days.

Can’t wait to be able to drive this car on the street.

Babycakes…..Not sure about the speedometer. Mustang has one but the Chevy has none so far but we could do something later. Title has a place for mileage and another place if the mileage is unknown, so that part is no problem.

Just got the headlight switch today and going out to wire it in place. The picture doesn’t show many of the wires in the harness but there are more unused wires than used ones.
