been working on my center counsel, almost ready for the finish work

I got my A/C unit and mocked the underdash unit in place.
but for now my truck is in piceses, hanging on the walls and scatered all over the shop... but none the less I think I'm making some forward progress.

I have the AOD trany off to the shop for a going over and a little shift kit addition.
And when I get board with that I can go back to some block sanding and more filling and maybe some more sanding.

Looks great, Mike. That's going to be a great center console. Can't wait to see it finished.

Well....ok, with fabrication like that you have a good excuse for your lack of posts lately.

Excellent job, that console is a thing of beauty, I can't wait to see it in the truck.

Nicely done sir

Bobby

Mike,

Don't I know it! It seems like everytime I head out to the garage "life" rears its ugly head and beats me back down.
Don't worry about it, these old trucks are patient, they'll gladly wait until you have the time for them and they won't even give you grief about it.

Bobby
