Thanks. Guy did an awesome job with the wiring. Guy from fab shop was extremely impressed with it. Hadn't seen anyone wire up a vehicle that's in comparison to the guy they use. Saved me some $$$$ and am very happy with it.

Received a few pictures of the door panels.

RockinKees · 03-20-2015, 03:21 PM

blue57 · 04-13-2015, 10:27 PM

Well its just about done minus touch up and a couple little things........ 3 years...... What a difference

Column drop is getting swapped out for a similar one that is polished and has a bowtie machined into it

bowt1ed · 04-14-2015, 10:26 AM

Hey blue57, was that under dash valance a pre-fabbed item? If so, where from?

Thanks, Jim

RockinKees · 04-14-2015, 03:36 PM

Man! That's nice!!!

**Denee007** · 04-14-2015, 03:36 PM

Breathtaking!!!!

I'd also like to know as Jim (bowt!ed) asked," the under the dash valance?" and if you please, how did you accomplish the door panels? My interior doors are just plain ugly! lol

Rods57 · 04-14-2015, 04:13 PM

Dads Burb · 04-14-2015, 07:07 PM

Really nice truck. What steering column drop did you use, and what size drop is it?

Valance was made for my truck. Not a pre-fabbed unit. The door panels were acoomplished by paying a very well experienced upholstery guy to make them up. Started as a 1/4" sheet of board then he layed his foam and forms.

Column drop is another custom piece
