I did get to talk the the retired mechanic yesterday. It wasn't his wife's mother who was sick but her sister - she has now passed, but had a handicapped daughter, so they are now trying to make arrangements for her to be taken care of.
But, on the good side I might be able to get some much needed help soon

Sorry I haven't been giving an up-date on this project, but really I haven't made any progress. I'm still waiting on the old mechanic to call me to bring the car down to get all the wiring issues straightened out. I'm very hopeful that he will call me soon after the first of the year. My project is next in line at his garage.
Keep wishing me luck - I haven't given up - and will take the car to a different shop if I have to.

Good News ... the retired mechanic who lives down the street called me yesterday and said bring the car on down. I stayed and helped him and he is already finding several things I would have never found --- like the new front parking light assemblies had the wiring installed in them backwards .... making the bright side of the 1157 bulb burn when the parking lights were turned on, and the flasher side of the bulb burn dim or normal when the turn signal was used, so you could even see the bulb was flashing -- hope that makes sense.
Lots more to do but he's really good

Glad to see you are still plugging away on the old girl. Are you going to be at SCR again ? I had the '38 coupe there last year. Hoping to get the Chevelle together enough to bring down this time.

Yes, I plan to be there but I don't think the Chevelle will make it this year - I'll try and bring something else.

Hopefully after this all the gauges and everything else will work ... as I am having a new gauge cluster put in as most of the old gauges didn't work

I quick question. This car has a rear window defogger on it. Did that come from the factory or was that installed at the dealership out of the factory Accessories Catalog?

Thanks for any help.

Both,the rear defogger was an extra cost factory installed option,as well as you could ask the dealer to install,once it was delivered.
