well,i started teardown of the truck,found alot of crap i didnt wanna know about,and some really shoddy wiring,which i guess ill just completely redo.
anyways,thus far ive got the dash completely torn down,going to be replacing alot of the old stuff with new replacement items mainly the dash pad,vents,heater control,door panels,and various other items.
later today im placing the order for new carpet,dynamat{which im getting cheap as hell haha},new cd/mp3 deck and a few other odds and ends,i figure ill get the new seats mounted,and the sub box/custom console built,and work on redoing the dash bits while in the process of the seats/console thingy.
think im just going to go black on the carpet,and doorpanels and headliner,my seats are a charcoal grey,so it should contrast rather well and look pretty good. any ideas you guys have or comments,suggestions,hit me up and let me know,ill continue posting new pics to this thread as progress continues.
and heres a few before pics of when i bought it.
im also probably going to end up going with either the covans classic type gauge lauyout,might just buy theregauge panel,since i have most of the gauges leftover from my transam.
or im thinking maybe dakota digital panel in the truck,havent fully made up my mind yet,any ideaS?
ive also debated welding plate in where the stock stereo should have been,and smoothing that all out,since the previous owner hacked it up quite a bit,and then i thought about putting the deck in the center console,or possibly in the dash,in the trim panel where the middle dash vent is,anybody think that would look good if done properly?
