Hooked up a battery charger and checked all the circuits. Everything worked but the horn. After an hour checking the entire circuit inch by inch, I narrowed it to the steering column shaft not being grounded. If the footboxes had been metal, no problem. But the glass boxes insulated it. Had to attach a small wire from the bearing plate in which the shaft passes through in the footboxes to ground. Now the horn works. Electrical complete.

I still have to deal with reworking the door hinges. Currently, when everything is installed, you can only open the doors part way and then the front edge hits the body.

It's unfortunate I wasn't informed of this early on.
