Spent quite a bit of time at the local parts houses trying to find the proper contour hoses to work!



Were still finishing routing of wires, harnesses hoses ect.




trying to route things more "exposed" than we usually do to retain a factory appearance


Stereo system is hidden as well and will be controlled through an app on an Iphone.


Classic Instruments made a one off shift indicator and not pictured, but super cool heater Ac control panels
