thats the clif notes of how i did it there is way more to it but you get the jist...

exactly.....it all looks EASY until you are the one laying under it forEVAH.

that's a LOT OF work, and it looks like you did a good job.

how about the annoying details: HVAC & gauges, will they all work?

every thing works down to power locks
i have stock gauges, heat, AC, ect ect

the hardest part of making the heat and AC was getting the lines made lol you would not belive what a headach the AC was

Josh, you and your pipe dreams should let me drive that car.

That's a pretty ambitious project you have tackled here. Glad to see that it is working out. Pretty sick stuff, to sat the least.

lol im guessing this is rudy... haha and yeh man when its done you can play with it

thanks man
