With the lever in the P position, the switch, as indicated by an infinite resistance reading on the meter, indicates that the switch, when engaged, is open.

With the shift lever in the "P" position (j-gate bezel removed), the lever depresses the park position microswitch.

And, apparently, the new backlighting bulbs are just fine.

I know the display has some delamination...but, it's useable as it is, no? Thinking I could look for a new gauge....or just leave the patina as it is...;)

How it's mounted. That is a standard AMPS mount backplate. You just have to be a bit creative and think outside the box; what Kuda puts on their site is only a suggested way of mounting...doing a little investigation and web searching will lead to many creative ways of doing what you need to do without having to drill into your $2000. console, stick tape on your veneer, or have things rattling around the cockpit.

Kuda USA sidecar mount. They make them with all the common interior colors; there's a metal tab that fits under the wood trim, and a non-destructive tab that catches the bottom passenger edge of the console. Blank face, so, you can mount a standard cell mount to the face and put the phone in a cradle. Out of the way, yet still accessible.

Polished up the chrome, put a neoprene gasket under the leaper to seal it better to the bonnet, and gave the car a (painfully intense) coat of hard carnuba wax. Lot more work than some of the liquid and other formulations out there...but shines up nicely. I think the VDP grille adds to the distinct 'face' of the car, no?

buffed out and such. Need to get to car wash and get all done...but also needs a coat of wax before the winter. I'm chuffed that it turned out ok!

2000 grit used to flatten the obvious issues in the clear coat on the hood. From Dave's estimation, this car has been painted a few times over its lifetime...pointed out a fisheye on the roof that had escaped my notice...and mentioned that the reason the front of the bonnet was so stone chipped was that when the bonnet was repainted, the shop that did the work did not bring the surface down to primer, but just sanded the top coat and reshot. This makes the paint too thick, which chips easier.
