Pulled my gauge cluster and replaced the light switch, that fixed my dash light dimmer and my courtesy lights. Also fixed my tach, the needle would bind up at 1800 rpm, the needle sits on a spring all I had to do was slighty pull it out which now allows the needle to fully rotate. Also ran the wiring for the door pins that control the courtesy lights, now need to make a jumper to wire them in. Attempted to install my new passenger side inside fender after I had painted it, but decided to wait until I have some help so I don't fubar the paint.

Time for a nap!
