Drew,
Thank you.
That dash took a bit of convincing to come out right! VDO white face gauges
are installed and working - all the chrome on the body is now on.
Truck (59) will have some neat little tricks too, but not as much
customizing - want to keep as much original as possible on the body (maybe
shave the door handles).
