I managed to mount a Kugel Components under dash master cylinder unit. I also mounted Vintage Air unit, and worked on mounting my bucket seats.

Re: Progress Pics

I'm really diggin' the firewall... I've been looking for pics of something similar. How much of a PITA is that master cylinder going to be to service? I'm trying to decide which way I'm gonna go with mine. I've got an old ARA unit that works perfectly right now, it looks exactly like the VA unit.

What are your plans with the inner fenders and core support?

I'll stay tuned for updates....

I thought it was a good buy however, I'm going to get them cut down so the top is no higher than the rear window and I'm going to keep the headrest (maybe) they will get leather treatment when I decide what color interior, heck when I decide what color exterior, heck when I ...

(PITA) ? Well I thought of that the dash completly bolts on and out every thing that bolts up to the dash will have quick disconnects even radio. (INNER FENDERS AND FENDER WELLS)- Well to be honest I dont know but I did like the way these look I think the truck belonged to greens69. I will smoothe out inner fenders and core support as much as possible.

Okay. Another California Guy. How do you fight off the smog boys?

That may be the most beautiful power plant I've seen...Uhhh, since the black one...or....Definitely in the top four or five I've ever seen.

I have too many hoses. What's the deal?

Re: Progress Pics

man the brakes give me Ideas. but I think that I would go with the 475.00 for the whole set up with master to be more cast efective. Covering a wilwood with a dash seams like a waste when I will not need one. You may need one but with the simple 383 Putting out 400 hp and not road racing it I don't.your truck !
