The gauge setup arrived yesterday from Dakota Digital. Havent had time yet to start the install, but will be sure to post up pics when i get it in.
Also, i managed to get the radiator support sprayed yesterday. I tried out Eastwoods 10-20% Ceramic Underhood Black, which is a single stage urethane, and it layed out nicely . Has the perfect sheen to match the factory finish. |
Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Yeah I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that...any idea when its supposed to be released??

Hey Bowtie468,
I just started a post looking for pics of the DD gauges and I see you just picked them up. Where did you get them? I think I am going to go with the red carbon fiber. What are you using for knobs? |

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
So after seeing the headers and how they fit, I went and picked up a set for my self. Now I would love to see how you ran the rest of the exhaust piping please! I try to see it from the video but it was hard to see any detail like size and routin,and if your too far along and it a pain to get pics of it it is ok. I love the build

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
The truck is looking fantastic. :D
And I'm jealous of the gauge set.:whine: Great attention to detail.;) Spike:smoke: |
Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Lots of great progress here since I checked in last. You are getting so close!

We are still working on the front clip at the present. Everthing has been properly fitted and gapped. lots of blocking to go then cover them in black base. A good portion of the wiring is complete as is the Dakota instrumentation. No current pics of that other than what i had posted previously. New body side molding arrived from Mar-K and we started getting it installed so as to not drill into fresh paint more than we have to. I must say that i'm pretty stoked with their moldings. Fit and quality is dead on. Good 'ole American craftsmanship !!!:flagw: A few pics of the moldings.. |
Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
We will be in a motel . But a lot of people just park their camper or motor home wherever they can just off the highway . I can't say I've seen anyone in a tent, that wind can be pretty harsh at times. One of our guys literally got his NOS front grille sandblasted on the run to Bay St Louis !

Not long after I bought my 31x16x20 S/R's, MT decided to discontinue that size . So not sure what I'll do when it comes time for new ones . Mike is correct , the 29x15x20 will fit nice on a 12" wheel Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
I also agree with Mike as I am running the 29x15x20 on 13's anf they fit well.

Hey Mike , you wanna sell them back to me before you burn them up ? :lol: On a side note , when I heard of them (Mickey Thompson) discontinuing that size, i called them up for another set knowing quite well that they still have the mold . Sure thing, said the rep, but there is a 100 tire minimum run !!!!!! :jdp: Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
That suxs about the 16s. That's what I have on my truck to and don't want to go with a shorter tire and can't go with a wider tire.... :(. Hopefully there will be more options by the time I need a new set.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Ya I think so, I was originally thinking of a custom dash. Now I can't decide what colour scheme which changes the gauge background colour I would need.
If I could only make a decision.......lol |
