Re: The "In over my head" build thread

Loose Ends - 2/25

Yesterday I had a surprise opportunity to work from home. Work ended up being extremely slow and it ended up being one of the most productive days I've ever had working on the K5.

Rather than bore everyone with a storied description of everything I accomplished here's a massive list and some proof (photos )

-bolt in seat belts
-cut hole in carpet for shifter
-bolt on shifter + linkage (need longer screws to attach boot/trim ring)
-cut hole in carpet for high-beam switch grommet
-cram console in place (it's a VERY tight squeeze between the utility buckets but I'm determined to make it work. Also need hardware before making it permanent)
-swap out ignition and door lock cylinders so they all match
-install roll bar mounted quick release fire extinguisher...which i hope I never have to use...
-install wiring clips holding rear harness wiring to frame
-install diff breather hose for 14 bolt
-install new 15" stock style wheel + horn kit
-install radiator overflow to passenger fender
-fill radiator w/ fluid
-fill differentials and tcase w/ fluid
