    A couple of updates. Thanks to Greg for pointing out some issues with the front end assembly. I have everything corrected and reassembled (with the exception of the upper ball joints). I also trimmed the UCA arms in the back as suggested in other threads, I hated doing it but a half hour with a dremel and a sander and they cam out fine.

    The old ball joints pinched and created tears due to the incorrect installation.

    New upper ball joint boots are on Order. Corrected front end assembly??

    I have the dash re assembled and everything wired in. After completing this the horns quit working. I naturally went back through the dash assuming I had somehow messed this up.... No change after reassembly.

    I finally (after an hour or so) chased this to a bad ground in the Ron Francis harness. The leg for the horn ground was not soldered well to the ground in the front harness. I ended up just grounding the horns directly and removing the leg as it allowed me so insulate the main ground wire better.
