horns
l hooked up those trumpet looking horns under the front fenders today,
wow !!!
they are almost as loud as air horns, my neighbor a block up the road said he heard them clearly[cl
because of the big size, took 4 hours figuring out where the horns would fit and not hit anything[S:
also got the headlights and front turn signals in, not a lot today, but it's progress.

poser
l fixed the poser/parking light today, man, something as simple as a ground wire can drive ya nuts l had to run a extra ground wre to get it working.
l would hate to get pulled over on the maiden voyage just 'couse of a parking light out.
probably gonna be hoodless for the week-end, we can't get the hood to latch and running out of time to play with the adjustment. we have a few more major things to get done. [ so the stinkin' hood can wait[ddev]

I sorted that out on mine before it had an engine in the hole.
It's easy when you can sit in there and see what's going on from the inside
