Re: WHat did you get done 7/1/12 edition

I just picked up a 82 short bed with a 250 6 in it. In the process of making it my driver. Cleaned it and detailed it. Did a tune up and a few other little odds and ends. Been a while since I had a square can't wait to get it dropped and just drive it.

That looks awesome. Where did you get the dash at? I've read a couple horror stories on buying them front the wrong places. Also is the instrument bezel cover from LMC? It looks good.
