got the matching dark grey dash pad installed, the polished machined aluminum radio opening, and the rear tail lights installed.....
im working on the A/C heat control face plate....the classic auto air one was small and cheap looking....so a new one that'll fit the opening is being made.....here is a sneak peak at it getting modeled.

Man that looks awesome, I plan to start on my '68 soon. I like that you used Camaro headers and made them fit, I can find cheap ones all day on ebay, much cheaper than C10 swap headers. Thanks for showing so much detail!

Yaaaaa it looks great. I love the tire/wheel fitment. It turned out awesome. I was wondering how you were coming along. We are about to pick back up on my o'lmans truck again. I have'nt touched it all summer. I had some serious things going at the time. But now one of them is done and my 93 fox body drag car is in the home run stretch. Keep an eye open on the thread once I get going after the holiday's. I may have some questions for ya.

Once again, great job!!
