    Looking very nice there Rich.
    I was thinking of doing the very same thing with my dimmer switch. Not much room around the pedals with my big feet!

    That's some pretty impressive wiring under the dash. That's what I was going after with Rita but the end result was quite different.

    That's great work on the electrical! That's one of those areas that takes some talent to plan and execute, for sure.

    Thanks a lot guy's ! I finished the horn assembly today, centered steering wheel, and
    made sure turn signals canceled correctly.
    The reupolstered seat with more padding cut down on my head room. I'll be
    lowering the seat to make up for it. Oh well! LOL
    Time to start on the engine rebuild.

    Thank's vht! My COPD has slowed me down, but I keep picking away at it. Here's some of
    the goodies I have for the engine rebuild:

    I have had the heads redone with stainless valves, new guides, springs, etc.

    I had my valve covers powder coated, and painted the grooves in the valley
    cover I made.

    I sent the manifolds out, and had those coated inside, and out. The rocker assemblies
    I sent to Rocker Arms Unlimited where they hard chromed the shafts, and installed
    bronze inserts in the rockers honed to size.

    The block has been bored .040, and the crank cut 010-010.

    That should be a bunch of fun once you get it together.

    Ryan: Those are expensive photo's ! I don't want to think of how much I've spent
    on this Hemi. LOL
    The $106 I spent on the valve covers was a great deal I believe. They put a clear
    coat on after the color coat. The exhaust manifolds I had done at Jet-Hot for $270 with
    shipping, and have a life time warranty.
    Machine shop costs sure have went up, and hard to find a good shop. They are all backed up
    with work, took 3 months to get everything done.
    I have farmed out the assembly work to a local race shop since health problems have held me back.
    They are also backed up with work. It will get done when it gets done! LOL
