dude... your imagination is inventive... who would have thought to install that one?!

I'm looking to make a steel dash for my 88 (getting rid of the pleather... possibly wrapping the steel when I'm done) and this has pretty much sold me on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
haha, thanks man!

well im glad i could help

for the break-away mirrors... the nylon backings get dry rotted and brittle... you have any ideas for replacements or reproducing them? it looks as though you might have done something there since you kept yours.

I love the way that you body dropped the bed. I like the Ford tailgate portion being put into the drop.

Alright, I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed!

I like the FORD in the back of the bed and I really can't wait to see the dash when it's done.

I think it's awesome to see people think outside of the box and come up with something unique.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
I've never been much of a fan of the low riders but DANG!

That's some pretty slick fab work. You have my admiration sir.

I give it a 5 star thread and reputation, you got a pretty good idea of what you're doing.
