Thanks, I don't think I have ever seen anyone running a custom air gauge. For the cost I couldn't pass it up.

New Vintage USA, same place that made the 5" dual gauges. Their site said they did custom design work so I asked if they could make matching air gauges, they said no problem and I had them in two weeks.

Re: Project '86
Ya know, honestly, I think that dropping a truck goes against what they were designed to do and usually hate them. But you sir, hats off! That is a true custom job. I applaud you for how much you're able to do with so little. And the fact that you have the skill/know-how to fab up alot of it is mind blowing.

Love the truck!

Now, do something just as amazing with a massive lift.

Re: Project '86
Maybe I should try Truckin again, I talked with street trucks several times and they said they would run it shortly in their blood sweat and gears sections but that was over 6 months ago.

Re: Project '86
Wasn't sure if my air gauges would fit between the other two gauges but today I bit the bullet and started cutting.

Looks like I missed center just a bit but I won't be able to tell from my viewpoint. The speedo is over a bit too far here as well but there is enough room to bump it over some.



Here's the old steering column through the firewall trick



Can't wait to drive this thing

Thumbs up Re: Project '86
Such an awesome build! I know if we don't see it in one of the truck mags, I'm gonna be pissed! It almost seems like you have to have connections either through a club or one of their 'chosen' shops to get any attention.

I know I'd make a road trip east to get to see it!
