Glad you guys understand...

Duct tape is *flammable* (well, the tape itself isn't so much as the *glue* 
that holds it together is).  To top it off, it's not all that great of an 
insulator, so if you put it on electrical connections...

Dash fires aren't fun.

Scout's PO didn't do anything to it except the nice front bumper spacer and 
removal of the a/c (still don't get that one),  the PO of the '70 chevy 
didn't do anything but unhook stuff for some reason

The po of the '65 chevy we used to have duct taped the wires for the 
radio... fixed that in short order.  His other contribution was never 
changing the oil and not being able to figure out that lights don't work 
when the bulbs are blown out (that last one is same for the guy we got the 
'70 chevy from, son of the original owner and he didn't know why most of the 
stuff didn't work... fortunately I had all that fixed within a week so I'm 
glad he didn't, helped the purchase price.

Thanks,
Ryan
