Re: Project '86
Just ordered some custom air gauges that will match the dual 5" gauges. Just have to figure out where to mount them in the dash.

Re: Project '86
Just ordered my dual 5" gauges!

Right now I am leaning towards putting my bag gagues in an over head console. Any other suggestions. I am worried it may throw off the dash if I mount them in it somewhere.

that would work. Where are your switches being mounted?

Re: Project '86
cool deal getting the vent window to work out still!

...although some one piece windows (and flush front and rear) would look great on your truck ...

...hey, it's a lot easier spending someone else's money so you can't blame a guy

The one piece windows would have to be custom cut to fit. They said it would be a little over $2000 for two sets. That's way to much for glass.

And the one piece windows won't fit with my suicide doors anyway. There is not enough room in there once the hinges are installed.

I agree, you have done your mods so cleanly that they look as though they should be that way. Big props to you Sir.
