'66 Malibu N/SA

Well, it doesn't look too dramatic, but I did get a fairly full weekend of garage time. Mostly doing wiring and plumbing around the engine bay. This included about half of the under-hood wiring, the thermostat, part of the throttle linkage (I'm just waiting on bushings) and I fabricated a bracket to anchor the return springs. I also got all of the gauges set up except for the electrical connections for lighting, plus power for the electric gauges.

I also installed the headlights, which I was a little concerned about. As indicated by the first picture in the thread, none of those parts were installed when I got the car; they were in a cardboard box in the trunk. So I had never seen how it all goes together, but fortunately it was straight-forward enough that even I could figure it out.
