Hello Steve, still pretty cool here so time in the shop is what I've been up to. Tomorrow I have plans that will give me a little more room to move in the shop but it requires moving some things out to the storage tent so I'll have to move some snow first thing..

Sensational Saturday Alabama, Steve, John and all the Dixie crew. Glad to see everyone survived the Christmas and New Years partying.
Steve, too bad you still are not near Wheeling. That is where Wifey's parents and one sister lives.

John, hope you have some good quality shop time and get the wiring done.

I to survived the festivities and this weekend I get to spend time at home. This is the first time home sense the middle of October.

It will be awhile before I can finish up the wiring Rod. Ordered gauges but the delivery date isn't until March 8th and I'm not sure if that is the expected time for me or to Summit Racing who I ordered them from. Special order because they are metric. Didn't take that long when I ordered them for my pickup and are the same gauges..

Evening John and I don't know why they would take so long unless it is a supply issue. So far, everything I have ordered has been on time, even things shipped from out of the country!

Dakota digital likely don't make many metric gauge sets for the shelf, I might call them directly to see if they can step it up some..

I really don't know if they do. Calling them could be a good thing.

Dakota digital does say they are special order but the time seems to be a little long. There is no difference other than the face plate..
