I said "screw it" and drove my car in the Berkley Cruise Fest Parade today. I don't have 3rd or 4th gear and only drive the car about 20mph, which was OK. Considering that there was a lot of traffic getting to the parade staging and then in the parade I don't even know if I stepped on the gas more than 4 times in the parade.
Had a great time with my kids and grand daughter. Tomorrow I am going to take it out to my parking spot on Woodward and 12 mile (1 1/2 from my house) and I will park it all day.

Thanks Ray.
I probably over did it, but I took my car to the Woodward Dream Cruise today. I really ticked off a guy who was parked beside me. He asked me if I would move my car so that he could park in the "better" parking spot. He had his car for sale and he said he didn't beat me to the spot. How could he beat me ? All the spots were numbered and mine was #1, right on the end. I told him that I was having trans problems and that I would prefer not to. He got mad and tried to tell me that he could fix my trans problem. I was not letting this guy near my car. Anyway, he ended up sweet talking someone and parked his car so that it was blocking mine from anyone seeing it on Woodward. But it ended up backfiring on him. I guess all week he had the car listed for $15k, and people had seen it, well now it was listed for $13k and people were not being nice when they were talking about it. But they were checking out my car and saying some pretty nice things about it. One guy even asked him why he parked his "hunk of junk in front of my beautiful car"..ouch. Needless to say it was an interesting day.

Started a project over the weekend.
Man you can destroy a perfectly decent car in about an hours time!  Good news is I found a partial reason why my heater/AC air flow was so horrible Plastic piece that secures to the air flow direction door was broken and not allowing the door to move as it should. This allowed air to leak out of all the vents rather than directing it to the correct duct. Hoping I will actually have A/C that blows hard enough to cool me down now (fingers crossed!)  If all goes as planned I should be able to start putting the new gauges & dash back in this evening after work!

Made some progress on the gauge install today.
Still have a rat's nest of wiring behind the dash that needs straightened out and none of the sensors have been installed but the gauges are in and I would say 1/2 to 3/4 of the battle is over. I know these will not appeal to everyone but I am actually quite pleased with the appearance and welcome all the added functionality that the factory gauges lacked! Getting everything laid out and ready to start cutting/wiring.  Easily one of the best bang for the buck investments made! Laminated, color wiring diagram!  Almost done wiring  Rock & Roll!
