Cab and frame look great. Looking forward to more pictures. How did you smooth the dash? Did you fill the holes under the dashpad or something more?

Dash was fiberglassed from the backside. I think i have a close up of it somewhere. I'll track it down and post it !

Here they are ! I decided to make a bowtie out of the center hole. Not exactly sure how i'll finish it, yet !

Welded up the factory a/c control panel to make way for the Vintage Air Gen II controller.

I'll get away from the body for a while and show what changes have taken place on the chassis. Factory upper/lower control arms and drop springs were tossed in favor of ART StrongArms with bags. 4 wheels disc were added as well as larger rolling stock. New wheels are Billet Specialties" Bullets". Fronts are 18x8 and rears are 20x12's. Tires are M/T Sportsman S/R radials. Here's the rolling chassis as of a few weeks ago before yet another tire change.

Bowtie468.... Love this A/C controller!!! I had a question..... Did you just purchase the controller or did you buy the complete system? (Since the controllers are sold seperately)

Beautiful build by the way!!!
