Re: 58 TRUK intro

it's not a good pic, but if you look on top you will see my original dash fascia. a straight 3'' bent steel piece.
once i found fiberglassforums.com everything sort of snowballed from there.
cab was painted, i used many a roll of tape and carnuba wax to keep it from sticking to my fresh paint.
i had some welded clips on the bottom of the dash that i re-used for the glass work.
both left and right wings are held on with the clips, so is the passenger side



you can see a better shot of the clips here,
you can also see the vintage air unit and how far down it hangs.
the pass side fascia is 4'' to cover up the va unit



va unit before ^^ va unit after vv

OK. I get the idea. Neat!

What audio/video components did you settle on? Monitor? Speakers? Amps? Head unit? (I know you have the Kicker 10" Sub.) Best Buy has 6-1/2" Alpine component speakers on sale right now, but Amazon has them even cheaper @ ~$76. I wonder if this is the best bang for the buck. (Trying to hold the cost down but still be cool, as always...) I need to find an audio website to do my research. caraudio.com looks like a good one, but I'll need to subscribe to be able to do searches.
