I ended up pulling the motor in Jasmine to replace the bearings before
installing the blower. While it was out, I decided that I should
"clean up" the engine compartment and paint it to match the new body
color.
While I was doing that, I ended up pulling the heater core.
While that is disassembled, I'd like to replace the heater control
cables. What is a good source of them (preferably in the bay
area). They are like bicycle cables, but solid core. Could I use the
stranded wire bike cables?
I tried going to a parts store to get the cable, but they didn't have
any. I figured that it would be something like heater hose that you
could buy in any length.
BTW, I'm still looking for a cheap dashboard to use as a frame for
building a new dashboard. It does have to be a "later" (I think it's
post '68). I don't really care what condition it's in because I'll
probably start afresh, I just want the stock "mounts" already there so
that it's fit correctly without my needing to do fancy fabrication. If
anyone has one that they are looking to get rid of cheap, please let
me know.
Another crazy idea that I'm playing with is to replace the reverse
lights with something a bit more potent. I know that there are some
pretty small halogen lights out there these days, also various white
LED solutions. Anybody have any suggestions or experience?

I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to
listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
