Busy as heck, have been in meetings just about every day this week, Trying to get all the permitting ready for the two new dealerships. even Raul threatened me yesterday about finding a new BFF since I have been so busy and not time to talk with him. How about you? When are you coming down to Miami?

Man that's bad if he's saying that. I'll be down in a couple weeks to bring the boat back north. Ask Raul about some new toys I told him about. It's been taking most of my time lately.

thanks but far from done with it , i am building a small aluminum plate that will mount from the back of it to hold the gauges , then i will build a trim face panel on the front of it that will wrap around gauges and follow the factory line of the bezzel , wish me luck !!!!

Digging the speaker mounts and the gauges. Looking forward to you finishing the cluster too. Something I have been avoiding.

hello mike . got it do it sooner or later , after gauges ill start the rear sound system , that way if there any mods to the cab ill do it now before bodywork and painting

step two of gauges is done , i used a pvc 1/4 inch panel for gauges intesd of aluminum , its lighter , cheaper and easier to work with , my son and i went on line and looked at hundreds of pix of gauges set ups , i cut out some small gauge templates and laid them out and came up with quite some layouts but it came down to one that my son wanted which its all that matters to me , it's different so i hope it looks good when done , next step is to make the actual face panel to go over gauges and factory panel

[big_al_71]

That was the right lay out.....

Josh nailed it!!
