What series of Autometer gauges did you use? Those look nice. Is the color beige or off-white? I really dig the lokar pedal too.

Thanks, The Autometer gauges are realtively new line. They're antique beige and the 5 meter kit, not counting the tach, is #1809. They're from their Street Rod Series, don't remember if they have a name.

Thanks, yeah, I had it done locally. Looks good with the Ostrich boots.

It's only money......I looked up the part numbers that I wanted and then ordered through Summit Racing. Don't know if Summit sells out of the country, but I would think that they might.

Yes like that and thanks for posting those pictures. I was at an upholtery shop last year and was looking at those very samples. Gives me a much better idea of how it looks rather than looking at those little samples in his book. Have you got your carpet yet?

Hope the boots aren't imitation Ostrich! Nothing is like slidding your feet into a nice pair of cowboy boots..

Haven't done anything on the carpet yet. When the truck gets running, I'm going to take it to the upholstery shop and they'll do the carpet and finish the interior. Unfortunately, that a long way off.

Nope, the boots are real and I agree nothing feels finer than a properly broke in pair of boots.
