Got the leather seats done! Ordered new gauges!

skip99 · 11-02-2020, 12:38 PM

**8man** · 11-02-2020, 12:45 PM

The gauges look good, but the hood and seats look awesome!

Wow, nice looking hood. Good choice on the inset coloring.

skip99 · 11-04-2020, 07:13 PM

The universal cable i ordered was a little flimsy, so i cut a piece from an old trans am cable and used the aluminum ends from the universal i bought, took,a couple hours but doesnt kink when i bent it .

skip99 · 11-04-2020, 07:16 PM

Used a 79 trans am gas pedal assembly, the brake setup is a modified pedal from a 75 ford truck, with a trans am pedal pad, custom cut and welded, def. not a bolt in!

I was like, what the hell-is he talking about!? Flat bed is a boat, and the hot rods are lawn mowers! Thats funny!

dsraven · 11-04-2020, 10:45 PM

haha, thats funny. they do modify and race lawnmowers and boats though so maybe they are hotrods.

Got some glass in, what a pain in the a**,, install was easy, finding someone to cut it was crazy, took maybe 6 weeks and three diff shops.

Real Nice work on the truck, like the paint a lot, very Nice.

**youngrodder** · 05-26-2021, 07:44 AM

Looks great. I'm going to attempt to install the front windshield myself soon. Its not a V-butt so hopefully I can install like I did my rear door windows.

When you have a chance let me know the prt# for the window channel to settled on.

Your wife must be getting excited.

Will do...cr lawrence. 10g96

Everyone said use clear silicone between the glass, in the middle, it looked like crap, so, took two hours to clean it out and went with black urethane and a little piece of t molding inside and out, i cut it from the backside of some toyota molding, i think it looks more finished....

6DoF · 05-28-2021, 02:39 PM

especially on the black truck, totally agree with the black center trim. looks more purposeful vs trying to hide a seam that you can't hide.

**youngrodder** · 06-01-2021, 08:10 AM

Looks good Skip..On my 48, I had a V-butt windshield and they used clear silicone. I remember they taped the edges of the seam, filled it and wiped it and when they were done removed the tape. It left a clean line.

The black looks good though.

Marc

skip99 · 06-04-2021, 01:35 PM

Wiring......my head hurts......lol.....truck is easy, its getting the ac , dakota gauges, and fan controller to agree thats the problem.....

**youngrodder** · 06-04-2021, 02:59 PM

To do it right, the wiring can take for ever to complete. I'm glad I went with less electronic gizmos on this build. My 48 was dumb. From the power cowl vent to the door poppers that also rolled down the windows by remote.
