The harness at Zip is only $16 bucks cheaper, but you could use that to save up for your soon to be needed nerve medication.
And Scooch, what was that you were saying before about Vette stuff being cheaper? lol
I shall. I looked at several sites and got the cheapest correct fit I found. I must not have come across zip.

Oh and don't worry Scooch, I'll keep posting every time I work on her this weekend I'll either keep going through gauges and interior pieces or swap out brakes and rotors.

I thought it was weird earlier that I didn't find a greater price swing from Ecklers. For future reference, do a feedback search on this dash harness ($402), it's made by Lectric Limited: Willcox Corvette, Inc. - Parts, Restoration, Help - "When you're not the biggest, You try harder"

On the list tonight: get paint and some polish to touch up all the gauges and whatever other interior panels need it

Be very careful not to break the gauge bezel piece, if it isn't already broken.

Believe it or not it's not broken. I cleaned it up a bit last night.

Eeeeeeeezy does it when cramming the gauge assembly back into place. Make sure it's in all the way at the top when pushing it in at the bottom. Trying to draw the top part in with the screws is what can make the skinny middle section go snap-a-roo.

Repainted the gauges. The center piece is actually in great shape so didn't need painting. Those aftermarket gauges up top needa go though.
