I did a lot of multi-tasking today. Crack of dawn I worked on the second step of prepping, taping, paint, and touch up on one of my wheel covers. Afterwards, I did started the second wheel cover to get the black ring that surrounds the medallion and give it 24 hours to cure. To see how I did it check out this thread.

I knew the upholstery shop would be calling this morning to let me know the passenger seat was done. I had them work on the driver's side last week to replace a couple of panels from years of someone getting in and out of the car and split at the seam exposing the foam of the seat. They dyed the seat cover to hide the cracks and it looked so good I had them dye the passenger side. The wear was minor but I wanted both front seats to match.
Weather here in MA was warm and I wanted to get started on removing the dash to install a NOS fuel gauge and fellow member on this board helped me with. Cleaned the lenses and replaced all the bulbs to the warning lights and converted the dash lights to LED. The clock works!
Sunset occurs earlier this time of year and wanted to eat dinner and get ready for the kids tonight for Halloween. I will install the dash on my next day off.
On another note I have been working on freshening up the six way power seat for the driver's side cleaning up years of dried up grease. When I took apart the transmission for the last and final part so I could re-install into the car I discovered two of the three solenoids were shot. I found another seat track so I can replace the transmission and solenoids.
Got a lot done today!
