Re: Wife's 48
I REALLY like the looks of that dark green next to the chrome. All of your progress is looking great. You will be driving it in no time.

Re: Wife's 48
Lower50s, thank you, very kind of you to say.
No, the exhaust is yet to come. That is probably way out of order, but I just haven't gotten into that and will need some professional help.

Re: Wife's 48
I got some parts I needed to complete some of the projects I have left. First, the shot of the front end complete.
![]() Then I was finishing up the dash and needed to put the glove box in. Finally got the lock and realized I had no trim to install the box. So, I took an old piece of carpet trim from my Cherokee that I had saved, it was too messed up to use on it, ![]() And this stuff, ![]() And made this, ![]() Then painted and installed, ![]() And now the dash looks like this, ![]() I installed the window run for plain glass and took the fully assembled 48 windows with the steel frames to ACME glass for them to cut new side windows. Now to get that battery and make sure everything works correctly.

Re: Wife's 48
I'm just catching up on things. You have made great progress. I really like the dark green and chrome look. The front shot looks fabulous. Where did you get the center strip down the hood? Is it stainless or chrome?

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Fox. The strip down the hood is stainless from LMC.
Joe and Greg, thanks for the kind words. I have had a mental wall. I'm to the point where I can think of way too many excuses to work on the truck, but I think today I'll push through and see what I can get done.

Re: Wife's 48
Well, the day is getting closer. I can see the day when we are driving down the road, listening to tunes and grinning from ear to ear, it is a video of our first start in my garage with all the electronics installed. You may have to double click it to hear the start up.
![]() Ok, between the Gallo Technologies GT-3 push button starter and the Dakota Digital auto lights, I've got to figure out what is up with the alarm and the dome light, but it starts!!! Has anyone used the Gallo GT-3? If so, please PM me as I have some questions. Thanks

Re: Wife's 48
Well done. It is always a big check mark from the list getting that first fire.
Driving down the road will be in your near future. Marc

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Marc. It really felt good to hear it fire off with all the electrical work I've done.

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Jim.
Lower50's, that was good. As I watched it I thought "I should have put the seat in for this". Yes, I promise to get a taller seat in there.
