This is how it sits as of the other day. Still lacking 3-4k worth of parts but the end is near. Hopefully by this time next year.

Looks great. Gleaning ideas for when I get to my 81

Is that a B&M shifter?

Yeah it is. Wanted the precision power shifter but money said b&m stealth. Not a big fan of ratchet shifters.

Dash is back out, cleaning out more wires, mounting ecu, relays, etc.
Moved battery to the trunk. Waiting on parts to finish that.

Fired up the ecu for the first time to check my wiring since ms3gold box uses ground triggers.
