Dash ends aren’t finished, but if I were to do it again I would cut out 1” from door where the dash meets it, like some new cars. I set back the firewall about 3/4” so that dash would fit better n I could give the firewall a more finished look( needs painted yet). I have not driven it on highway yet to check rpm but I did do calcs n Rpm will go up. Wheels r Moto Metal from BB wheels, not much choice for trailblazers, they were on sale, with tires less than $800. I’m using factory seats, alittle tight, but I’m not planning any long trips with it n using them everything just plugged right back in n I’m not that tall (5’9”). If I were to do the cab again I would have added 6 to 8” for more cab room. I believe Raven is doing that.
All n all was a pretty easy project. Thanks for your interest.
