Every inch of her needed attention, The stock console was prety cracked up so I reworked the shifters and designed a console that I think I like.
Sexy console!

Thanks, it looks pretty cool in the truck. I had to fiberglass the heater duct in the front and utilize the two outside openings. Not much need for heat here in so. Fla.

I haven't gone out with them yet, my blazer isn't ready, but I know a guy in my neighborhood that's gone to Corbett with them a lot.

Good job on the cowl induction hood. Someone on here made a cowl induction hood for his 1st gen K5 using the factory steel from the hood for the top piece and adding some metal to the sides. It turned out well.

I cut the front fenders (only) inorder to cram my 37"M/T Claws inside. I can still add my new trim rings with a little help from my rubber hammer.
