Default Finally

So, today i finally wrapped up the last mechanical problem i have with the stang. recently i fixed the gas gauge sending unit(bigger than i thought). Which included, replacingthe ground wire and sending unit wire, along with the sending unit itself. Axel barrings in the axel i was told to replace when i upgraded my rear differencial. Fixed the air filter by changing the whole system into cold air intake. The only actual problems left is the hood paint chips. It might be a while before that gets fixed, because its just not fast enough anymore! but the real reason for the post is what i fixed today(small thing....but im reallly proud of!) the illumination of the guages didnt happen when i pulled the main headlight lever. i had to splice two wires together after i did that to get the gauges to illuminate properly. well now i put those wires into a new switch and mounted that switch right under the main lever to create 2 switches. And i must say it looks very custom, as if it came from the dealer this way or a professional. it may not be the best solution, but i pulled off the gauges and everything out of my dash and since im not an electical prof this way by far the best solution possible. im just proud of myself, which is why i posted this; mainly because i did all by myself with no help from my father. thats all
