Here is an early picture of the engine bay... I painted the firewall before I put the motor in. Lots of loose ends here.

TIG welding the tubes together. Later I welded in a bung for the nitrous kit.

 

YOu took the bed off to work on the rearend and suspension but you didn't bother to wash the engine??

FAIL!!!. lol. jfwy. That would definitely surprise the hell out of me on the road. You don't expect that body style to move out like it will now.

 

This is the gauge cluster I made. I started with the original cluster and modeled the overall shape on a computer using AutoCAD. Then I drew in Auto Meter gauges to see if they would fit. I used a large block of black PVC plastic to make it out of. I milled the part on a ProtoTrac Mill. It took a lot of time start to finish, but I wanted to hide a huge tach and not have a big monster tach ontop of my dash. You can't buy one of these clusters anywhere.
