Now where am I supposed to put my gloves? Almost didn't sink it deep enough. Almost doesn't clear the stereo.

Glove Box


Test fit on the new tips. I am pleased with the exit point.

Very nice indeed. Love the exhaust tips and the location is perfect.

Is that the stock stereo? I'd like to get a stock one like that for Earl.

Of course, but only on Brazilian F100s George. Sheesh, why don't you a bit of research before you make a fool of yourself in public.

Forgot one in my haste to prove I do something besides hang out here. Here's a shot of my "Billet Boy" dash. Got all the ***** and switches functional. I even have a vacant switch for my parachute. I am putting my spy gadget toggle switches in the glovebox.

'fenders,

Very nice. I especially like the safety netting under the dash so that if you slide forward off the seat, you don't go under the dash too far. Does it not come with all the strands in one colour though?

Clean that up!

Thanks for not cutting me any slack. I din't expect any.

You don't have any idea how many shots it took to get most of the wiring out of the PIC. Why don't you call some vendors for me. They charge out my VISA and then place an order for what ever I bought from their supplier. It's getting ridiculous. I need my PW switches etc. NOW!!!!!!!

'fenders,

So is that the steering wheel you decided to go with? I'd like to see another picture with the horn botton on. Painting the steering wheel spokes same colour as the dash looks good, I never would have thought of that, but then i have AADD.

(Sorry, no put down this time.) I'll make it two next time.

... hey 'fenders, ... looks great. Just wonder where the tach is which I guess is key to monitor the wild'n'hot anything-but-girly SBF under your hood ???

Hey, ... just mounted my tach (the classic way):

I can't run a tach Kai, they aren't stock. I would think you would know that.

RMF

Yes that's the steering wheel. Got a deal on it. I am resisting too much shine in the cab. A fight I am losing. I like the billet steering wheels on the market, just not in this application.

And is it OK for Kai to drape loose tach wires down his column? Like a high school kid from the 60s-70s. Is that a Sun Tach Kai?

... 'fenders, yes, I need to cover the wires (or better cut them totally). I have the RPMs set at 7,000 static as this is the RPM I will spend most of the day at. No, it's not a Sun Tach. It is a fake Autometer look-a-like.

'fenders,

".....And is it OK for Kai to drape loose tach wires down his column? Like a high school kid from the 60s-70s. ...."

1. It's not manly or mature to tattle on people.

2. This could very well be a cultural thing. It may be the normal Germany. This being a multi-cultural forum , you need to be sensitive to other people's cultures. I think your behaviour is terrible. You should be ashamed of yourself. Is that the way the Mrs. taught you to behave in public.

OK OK....where's the midol? you guys taking the ill pills again?
I'd gladly trade dashes with either of you. Mine has the wonderful original stuff that tells you either your gas tank is 1/4 full or full and if you drive faster you get more fuel. Hope my 302 makes fuel like that.

Now boys...play nice

Still not worthy

That looks very nice.

I haven't considered a sterio, as any engine combination that I have considered would certainly drown it out. I guess thats not a problem with a Three-O-Two or even a Two-Eighty-Nine.

The wires may be part of the engine mounts, holding all that horsepower in check.

I'll go back to my bunker now.

P.S 7000 RPM's that would be in the draft of one of those MANN big rigs, wouldn't it?

A Sony Explode reciever! You should have got a Panasonic. In that picture you were listening to Daddy wont sell the farm by Mongomery Gentry. The Panasonics read CD's better, have better sound and better screens. My brother has a Sony and calls it a piece of crap. He likes his old Panasonic better.

"My brother has a Sony and calls it a piece of crap. He likes his old Panasonic better."

Well thanks for brightening my day there Nathan

It was on clearance at Wal-Mart for $110. That is considerably less than usual for a CD player with a remote. Remote will be handy with the deck in the glovebox. I listen to 90% country. Hopefully the Sony will suffice. I have some Sony electronics about as old as you. It's usually decent stuff for the money.
