Cage and dash are done!!

Unread post by DOUG »

Custom dash by http://sites.google.com/site/doubledfab/Home. AutoMeter gauges, custom switches, added intermittent wipers, and a Tuffy glove box. Relocated the glove box to clear the cage, basically swapping positions of the RH speaker with the glovebox.

Kurt and I then modded the cage. Removing the angled steamers and relocating them towards the middle for more head room. Then we added grab handles and bungs so I can install shoulder belts. Then it was off to the sandblaster for stripping, then home for paint and install.

I couldn't do the blue and yellow. Although the "SCRAMBLER" on the hood is still yellow. The separate front cage allows use of the 1/2 cab.
Twin stick on the 300, 4:10s in the diffs.
