The Dash Surround is complete and i couldn't be happier.

I want to thank Doc one last time for taking such good care of me. As promised he stayed late and cranked out the dash overnight. I would of had pictures sooner but i was in the Magic Kingdom spending more money then should be allowed.

Here is the panel. When i get home and meet with Autometer will stuff some gauges in it so you can see how it looks.

here is the back side view. You can see how the guages will be flush mounted from behind.

here it is in the surround

wait i almost forgot - Here is Doc taping the mounting bolts on the back.

Once again - Doc Thanks for all of the help.

that peice looks amazing. I'm a fan of bezels out, but since most bezels are brushed aluminum, I don't guess they would be very noticeable. This is definately gonna have that factory look. Can't wait to see those guages in there!

Good Evening all,

Dave took a week off the truck to work on his Front Engine Dragster.
He finally broke into the 5's yes the 5's. He went 5.87 @ 25? mph at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.
He is now one of the top 4 front engine guy's.

This weeks updates are all about the parts.
Ordered Axle's from Strange and as promised they shipped in 3 day's Great Company.

Wait a new shaft -- Yep another steering shaft. The one from Syborg went into Project 663.

Yet another throttle Cable - Lokar has sure made money off of me.

New Gas Pedal - The picture doesn't do it justice, it's black!

Hood Release Cable and pull

This give's you an idea as to how the gauges are going to look in the new dash.

Here it is in the truck -- it's amazing we were able to stick 9 Guages in there.

That all for this week.
I didn't have time to get out there today to get pics of the work Dave did this week.
Next week I hope to have some really cool update as I plan to get it on the ground for the first time in over a year.

Good Afternoon,

Just a Quick Update.
Dave finished the dash surround just in time.

I meet Kris from Autometer at the shop to talk about the gauges that we want to put in the dash.
It looks like it's going to be the Sport Comp II line. Should look really nice once mounted.

This is the backside of the surround and how the billet panel mounts.

Need to make room for the gauges and wiring

This is how it looks in the truck with a spare set of Autometer Gauges

It's hard to tell from the picture but this is one of there new Gauges in the panel.

More to come on Saturday as i plan to work on it all day and have some help from Bob Thrash

I am hoping to have it at Rad Rides for Paint by the latest in October so i can make the Detroit Autorama in March.

Tommorow i plan to get the entire suspension and brakes back on the truck so Bob and i can play with inner fender design. He is going to help me to see if the inner fenders i want are even feasible. He is also going to do some rendering of both the underhood and interior/dash. This will be the first time the truck in on the ground in over a year. I can't wait to see how it looks
