    great to see this one get started! can i ask what the plan is for the build? since i don't know how complete the original build ever was, do you have pictures or anything to go by? will you try to save as much design as possible? not questioning you, just curious. will be following along. good luck, jerseymike

    I dont think he did the dash butchery..if it was like that when Chris owned it the darcy didnt do it...The way the gauges were located in the console made me think it was orig done when it was first customized?
