    Thatis going to be a very sharp truck, one your sons and yourself will be proud of.  Keep up the great work.

Should have the dash back together this week and will post some completed pics.  What started as lets get rid of the idiot lights and put in some guages turned into a complete upgrade.

Belt setup is great - thanks!

 Great work. As the title implies "sons". Will there be another truck soon?

WE ARE GETTING THERE.....

Project Name:  Third Day (this thing has risen from the dead....)





Going with the tear drop mirrors on the doors, have to get the exhaust dumped out behind the wheels.  Some more clean-up on the glass....

As for the "sons" question above, the eldest is in a 350Z and I don't think a truck is in his future.  However his old man sure would like to have a "sunday" truck.....

Will post more pics as we finish up.  3 years and I don't want to know how much $$$$$$$$$$$

Peace,
Don<><
