Devan -

The gage you started with looked much better than many I have seen. But the refurbishment you did really looks OUTSTANDING! Beautiful subtle touches. Very classy.

You've got way too much time on your hands. It looks great though. When are we going to hook up and talk trucks? I'm just itching to drive my wife even crazier than I already am.

Ford trucks come before bikes. It's in the manual, why does everyone skip that part. There is no other hobby, Ford trucks are all there is. No, you can't have a pony, you need a Ford truck. You can't get a job, unless you have a Ford truck. Nah, just kidding. It's break, get them both fixed.

I didn't get a chance to go. I ended up working on my car, and went shootin with my brother-in-law, his business partner, and my six year old. Ak-47's, AR-15's, and Glock 9mm's can be quite a fun way to spend the weekend. My son did get to fire a gun for the first time. They also brought a 22 rifle, and it was quiet, and had no kick, so it was perfect for my son's first shooting experience.

Nice job on that instrument panel. What did you use to shine it up?
