That looks badass! What gauges are those? And are they mechanical or elecitrical?

Thanks. Moving along nice and slow.Been working on getting all the wiring ran and hid. Had may fenders and tubz off sitting on the floor. My youngest came in the garage and ran into the fender and it fell over and hit a block right on the body line. Made a really nice dent and cracked the paint. Have to fix the dent and repaint the fender. Kids, got to love them.

Cool first concert. The console is looking pretty sweet.

Well back at it again. Had to take a break from the hurricane last fall. Pilled everything in the garage and boarded up the house and went to a god friends in Atlanta for a long week. Came back to little damage. We got very lucky compared to many in the area. I did loose almost everything in my storage unit. Only thin salvageable was the parts for my bed. When we finally went back to work, was so behind, had to work seven days a week till a couple weeks ago. So not much progress. But, feeling good. Back on 8s and back working on the truck. Pulled the interior to make it to easier to finish all the wiring. Couple pics of stereo install. Still needs to be adjusted by someone better than me LOL

I typically hate center consoles but that thing is looking great. Works very well with those seats. Awesome work.
