Years ago, Matthew had given me a bag of red and green LED bulbs for my dash. I finally got around to replacing them. Also, Dick had graciously given me a set of torqueflite pushbuttons that he had made - time to put them in too.

Pichuhs. Getting some of those bulbs in was no walk in the park either.

While I was under the dash, I found some wires that had been taped up, obviously after melting together 👿 I cut out the bad sections, slipped on heat shrink tubing, extended wires where necessary, soldered all connections and shrank the tubing. Came out pretty well, I think.
