The switch panel is already in as of today Pete. I like it more than the console SCS offers.

Sure am Nick, just deciding on turbine size. Leaning toward the 87.

Is it just me or is your hood stack getting a head starts moving forward before your truck...../.....

Its a performance advantage.....
That's just for mock up. Its leaning with the hood, but when its finally mounted it will be straight and level.

Race trucks can be plush and cozy too JP

I'll look into the vinyl, I'm gonna check out some carpet used for subwoofer enclosures tommorrow. Whatever I use it's got to be non reflective. Black seems to be the best color so far. And after looking at some NASCAR interiors it seems like good old flat black is what the pro's use.

uthose little birds are everywhere these days! I had one try to sell me crack in front of the liquor store the other day!

I think the 87 would be good for a competition truck, I don't drive the thing so why not?

Remember, crack kills!

In all seriousness I agree, go for it!

If young Mitch is a grandpa, a dash mat is the perfect addition.

FYI, my 98' Daily Driver came with a dash mat and now that I'm used to it, it's gonna stay right where it is. I still get a grandpa joke now and then, even though I'm not quite 30.

At the moment no. I have an hx35 on it for now, but if ya have it over summer I may take it as I'm going back to work full time.

shiftycapone · 05-30-2011, 10:20 PM

Got a couple more little things taken care of. I painted the top of the dash to cut the glare, which did not work at all. So theres $15 down the drain for the paint and tape, oh well. Got some black carpet from the audio store in town and made my dash mat, worked beautifully. Plus the dash does not get nearly as hot. Got the two lights for lockup and overdrive installed, along with my fan to help keep somewhat cool in the cab. Also got the bracket made which fits in the headlights old spot for the intake. Alternator is out being turned into a one wire and the sending units for oil pressure and water temp are in. Pics....

You should put a street 90* elbow on the oil filter housing to get your sender away from the exhaust manifold

Didn't even think about that, just seen others put it the same way I did. I don't know if a street would be tall enough to clear when the big sender is threaded into it. Maybe a nipple with a coupler could get it far enough from the oil filter housing. I will look into it today. Will heat affect the sending unit?
