What did you get done 3/21/10 March Madness Edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1) Did a little bit of work on HOT383 -but this project is being held up by back orders from Jegs and Summit! Aghhh!

2) Fixed intermittent brake lights. First I thought that PO's hill-billy wiring was the cause of intermittent brake lights! Take a look at this rat nest:

I had never seen more crimp butts and wire clips used to hold wiring together:

After cleaning this mess it was simplified to this:

After all wiring cleanup it end up being intermittent brake light switch! Oh well - wiring needed cleanup anyway... It had to be done the right way anyhow!

Cleaned up nicely. Now you need some black loom on that wiring and a trip to the quarter car wash.

Looks pretty solid. Needs something done with those wheels though.

Trust me...it's WAY WORSE than the pics show....

Spray foam in areas to fill the rust holes, no brakes, lots of small dents and the paint was brushed on....
It came with a set of Rallys, just need better tires.....

Thanks... it needs some TLC... and also fix things the "right" way. I'm not looking to get crazy with it... I'm going get rid of my Intrepid and use this as my DD... MAYBE.
