Avery,
Who's boxes did you use? Or did you build your own? Any info appreciated

I think I would have gone with a mo-hawk or the always fashionable mullet.

They were made by a shop here in town...any car audio shop could whip em' out for you though...I picked it up from a guy here in town so I don't know what the original price was to have them make it...
Oh and btw I had to click my seat up a notch or two to get it to fit.

in other words "hope youre short"

No...in other words an FYI that you have to click the seat up w/ 12's...I'm 6'-1" and I'm fine...of course the smaller steering wheel and tilt helps too
Ok...being sarcastic about the gas guage?
Of course not! Mine always reads on the E for some reason...
I must admit though, I split my gut laughing when I saw your "Shaving" technique :P

lol...well what other technique is there?
Have you cleaned the contacts? If you pull the dash off you can reach through the big opening around the center vent/duct work and unplug the wiring harness that goes to the switch for the tanks...then clean it up...oh wait...this may not be relevant b/c you might not have saddle tanks....anyways though I did this and I've never had problems w/ the guage or switching. Sometimes it doesn't get pushed all the way but I just push until I see the guage start to move.
I'm making this post a sticky....
Awesome dashpad tech! I think we'll need a formal Tech Article for the site.
Lil Avery, it takes balls to post a thread like this!
You gave me a good laugh this AM.

Is this some kind of Fresno thing? A guy I work with recently bought a 1990 K5 from a kid in Fresno that had the same crap glued everywhere (doors, dash, headliner, etc.), only it was all white. Then he had mounted a blacklight where the domelight was.
Yeah..its a fresno thing...I believe a couple of the clubs do it but I know of one in particular that all run S10's layin' frame that have this...the one I saw the other day had it on the headliner, dash, doors, everything!
