Others have already said it but I am glad you stuck with this project. It is coming out great.

Blonde, brunette, or red head? It's all about preferences of the individual, I hate manual brakes but my brakes are way too sensitive for some that have driven my car.... they're fine for me.

I agree.

Manual brakes are simpler and take up less space when that is a concern.

I looking for a gauge carrier for the Dakota Digital gauges... they use a stock one, but the re-pop ones all look like crap.

May end up making one.

JJ, I have the Dakota Digital 2nd gen in a repop carrier and the carrier SUX! I'll end up making one.

Manual brakes (just did it) with Baer 6 piston on order with MCB. Jury's still out for me, right now I miss the booster, but haven't tracked it yet with the new set up, which was the whole reason for going booster less.

Still working that out... found a place in PA that can do it, 500 per piece (need 2) and 560 to set. Oi.

Thing is, that truck is going to SEMA, so I need to get on it.

Edit: So folks know what Glassman and I are talking about... the tow rig. A modern chassis under an old cab and custom sleeper, with 50's Spartan trailer accents. Sadly, I need to have custom curved automotive glass made from the plexi glass I have.

So, I started to make a billet gauge carrier.

Lots of programming, lots of milling. More to come on this.

Two things I refuse to do on my cars: wiring and plumbing. My friend Randy loves it. So it's at his shop. I designed the wiring and plumbing and he's executing it very nicely.

Always a good thing to see the first item light up.

Always fun to find the stuff you didn't fit up before paint. I need to cut the front sub frame horns to fit the radiator.
