Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
been looking intoo a glass cockpit for a while , same as in an airplane and have the gauges made by a computerprogram
there whas a program that had that in some sony audio stuff (g force , speed through gps, and outside temperature stuff like that ) and there was some company that dealt in the fast and furious kindah stuff that had sumtin that you could hook up intoo the engine diagnostic plug but now canceled it , and there still is sumtin made for those high power diesels by banks but its a small add on thing so i havent gotten anywhere yet it would be cool to just have a black dash with a big touchscreen that alows you to either select wat look gauges you want but allso move them around on the desktop a lot of the more high tech european cars have sumtin like those virtual gauges in their dashes now

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Well my good buddy Chip Fredrick (tireblazin) has offered to help me and let me use his shop to build Square Peg so Saturday night i loaded up all my tools out of the garage and got them moved out to Chip's shop ! Then Sunday we tore it up , we stripped the firewall , wiring, dash, fuel and Brake lines, fuel tank , motor mounts , steering box, glass, we made some great progress !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
the plate with the slits in it for the heater is wat i was talking about , thats the plate you need to take off when mounting the older style frontclip looks like its just held in by the wiperstalks and a few screws
