Things were moving along quite nicely. I had taken the instrument panel/dashboard completely apart, rewired the harness for a new style alternator and repaired some bad wires. I repainted the dash and put everything back together. BEAUTIFUL! I was so proud. I then installed the pedal assembly and the complete dash followed with the tilt steering column. The tank was in place and getting ready for the start-up. Now, this was about the time I had hired someone to do some putty work but I had neglected to cover the cowl opening. OK, let's put in the battery and see if the electrical system does anything. Woosh!!!. Without thinking, I had left the fan on and it proceeded to create a white cloud in the garage, filling the heater and the newly, perfectly clean, gauges with all kinds of dust. BUMMER! (Actually, I said a few other things). Also the rear tail housings were badly pitted. I used a small burring tool to remove all the loose chrome then gave it several coats of flat paint to give it a nice look.
