Happy Friday man has this been a tough week. Long Story !!

Dave made the dash panel it's amazing how close to factory it looks.
We made a couple Cluster Housing Surrounds I should have some more pics on Saturday.

The dash is actually 1" Shorter then the factory dash.
Hard to tell from the pics but the P-Side is one inch lower the D-Side from the Factory.
We decided to make the dash the same height from left to right.

Hard to tell from the pics but the all of the radius bends in the truck match.
I plan to have my Buddy Opie come out and help plan the Radio/Navagation in the dash.

My goal is to make sure the Dash looks like something the factory could have built.
When you look in the truck I want people to think it's the stock Dash modified.

The motor is finally mounted (tacked) back in place. Dave also evened up everything again.

You can see the new Motor mounts. I think this is the third Set.

Once we are certain that this is the final location of the motor Dave is going to box the mounts.

That's it for tonight more to come on Saturday

Too bad there wasn't some way to wire in the new class 2 data system. Then you could hook up one of the newer GM navigation head units. That would be awesome

Every thing looks freeking awesome! Keep on welding!

man would that be cool

It's Saturday and it's time to get some work done on the truck

Scott over at www.syclone-typhoon.com hooked me up with the prototype of the gt Cladding.
The Fit was great with only a little bit of trimming on the Mounting Elbow.

I brought the Factory Dash Surround it to see how it looks on the Steel Dash.

This gives you an idea of how much free space we gained behind the dash.
