No, not going to sell any of the sheet metal. Probably going to start replacing that stuff if it doesn't sell soon.

Re: Project: Shiro
Knocked out some things that have been naggin' me since I Shiro arrived almost a year ago, it's about time right? Installed a billet radio bezel because one of the previous owners was a douche. I replaced the turn signal switch because it failed to self cancel and was pretty much a sloppy POS.

So I arrive to pick up my turn signal switch at the local NAPA Auto Parts and I'm greeted by this behemoth sittin' low.
Name: IMG_3023.jpg Views: 808 Size: 50.5 KB

They call it the NAPAllac...
Name: IMG_3024.jpg Views: 819 Size: 51.4 KB

Here is the radio bezel after install, I think I will have all the chrome bits powder coated or painted satin black when/if I blow this thing apart.
Name: IMG_3019.jpg Views: 816 Size: 35.9 KB

Here is the signal switch as it comes from NAPA. Not a fan of the pigtail that must be used but after you hide it behind the dash it is soon forgotten.
Name: IMG_3027.jpg Views: 817 Size: 34.0 KB

And here is the finished product. It's crisp and tight and I love having the self cancelling function.
Name: IMG_3031.jpg Views: 818 Size: 52.2 KB

I'll try and get a pic or video of the dash lights working as they should... and it only took 10 months to fix them.

It's so nice to have gauge lights that actually work. Glad I finally squared that away.

It was a simple one. The little tabs on a few of the individual bulb holders were flatened out, I bent them up which made a better contact and poof bright lights.

I would really like to have Hart_Rod's '68 but there just isn't any interest in this truck so it's time to get started on building it. I am seriously thinking about swapping to the '68 style front end if I can find some clean original sheet metal. We'll see...
