hey nice truck. the paint has that new but could be original look to it, very cool. how did you get the gauges white face? nice sub boxs. where did the spare go? thanks

 

[Starfire104CM]

taz_man440 sent me and some others a file by E-mail he scaned . Just had to resize them change some color around and print them on photo paper. Then glue them into place.
But shortly after I did mine my computer crashed and I lost the file :\'(.

As for the spare tire it lays in the back on long trips.

It took about 4 hours total to do it all .Resizeing and printing on regular paper took the longest.Removing the speed-O needle with out breaking it was about the hardest part. If I still had the file I would E-mail it to you . Get ahold of taz_man440 I'm sure he would get them to you if you want them.
