Moved ahead
Made some more progress today, but had some disappointments also. Got the headlights to work and the side markers, but no dash lights or tail lights. Have power at dash and it seems to be grounded. Test fit rear window and worked on the cowl induction.

Ray, I had the same issue with my 72' before I took it apart. I wish there was some sort of an update for that sealed circuit strip. I am dreading the day when I have to deal with that again. My sealed circuit panel is repop, the original was toast.

Beautiful progress!
I have gone through so many circuit boards in the past 2 years.... I absolutely hate that design!

For some reason it's looking like I don't have any power on two of my fuses. One is the dash lights and the other is the heater. I don't get any kind of reading with the key on or off. I've checked both sides of the fuse and nothing. Everything else has power. My clock is even working.

My progress/status
Getting sprayed once again. Had a few spots in the door and some less than perfect body gaps. After all was fixed, the side of the car was resprayed  Can't wait to get it back after wet sanding & polishing!

Yesterday after work I spent a couple more hours scraping and wire brushing the frame rails and front suspension. I came to the realization that I need to either - quit while I am ahead, or take everything apart. I spoke to my father last night, and he said he hadn't gotten around to replacing the bushings. That said, it is definitely coming apart. New bushings will be ordered today.
As you can see in these pictures, with it all together - there simply is no way I will ever be able to get everything clean like I want.

Working on these cars is labor of love. It will be well worth it when you are done.
