is pricing those exact AutoMeter Prestige Black Diamond guages for me as we speak. I agree with you in that I like the style of look to them, and what really sold me on them was the night time look.
However I am getting the wheel odo, and not the digital.
Once I start going digital, then everything will have to be digital....

Thanks for the info on the seats and console!
Like I said, I am planning a theme based build after this one and those would fit the look !!

Murph- let me know what your quote comes out too.

I also got the wireless remotes with my kit so thats just another cool feature

I think it is worth the money if you plan on making the car/truck a driver.

thanks man now i cant wait to order it for my 62 sounds like a top notch product

Will do, and hopefully he lets me know the shipping seperately.
There are some things about living up here in the center of Alaska that do truely suck.... shipping fees holds 3 spots in the top ten list.

I go up to Ketchikan once a year for fishing trips with my pops. I love it up there.

Working on some odds and ends.

>High hump conversion..

>building a bracket to mount the Accuair Exomount/tank/compressors

>Brake lines

And got some goodies today, New overflow tank from Champion (3"x9")
Porterbuilt new truss mounts to raise the motor. If all goes well I should have the motor mocked up by the end of the weekend and get the Tranny crossmember in

Is your Heater Control Painted Silver, or is it Polished?

definitely not painted. Not sure how they come in stock form. it never really caught my eye till you mentioned it.

I heard back from Shon on the Autometer Guages:

Quote:

$715 shipped for
2096 - tach
2093 - voltsmeter
2014 - fuel guage
2022 - oil (mechanical)
3228 braided steel pressure line
2033 - water temp (mechanical)

This quote is missing the speedometer, he said the model I want has not been released yet (with the mechanical odometer).

jimmydean · 12-14-2012, 02:56 PM

I love the console. I was going to go that route until I got the crazy idea to just build my own using the ideas from the Caddy.

Awesome, I will check out your thread to see the process. Anything Caddy and you cant go wrong. My daily driver is the new CTS-V and i love the dash to center console in those but integrating that into the small cab of a c-10 was a hug challenge. This console almost fits effortlessly.

Thanks Murph, i am definitely leaning towards those.

Hey man, my guages came in.... I had to go thru JEGS to get them (the speedometer issue) and I hope to have them in by the weekend.

Hope to see an update from you soon too !!
Been missing you sir.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-05-2013, 12:49 PM

Sweet build.

Jmorales3181 · 02-16-2013, 08:14 AM

Ya- i'll throw up some pics little later on.. Been having a hell of a time getting the LS in. With the motor mounts PB sent me it would not fit. The coil packs bracket hit the firewall and would let it move back any further. That has been my main hurdle.

Right now I am waiting on new motor mounts from PB.

mcmlxix · 02-19-2013, 02:03 AM

How about coil pack relocation brackets??
ebay has a couple options...

another one here...

IM BACK!!!

Took a nice long brake, but time to get going again. MOTOR IS FINALLY IN!!

mcmlxix · 03-20-2013, 09:00 PM

Very Nice!!

laynrockers · 04-12-2013, 05:51 PM

Installed the new headers last night, and working on a lot of odds and ends. The entire exhaust system will be black. I plan on using QTP electronic exhaust cut-outs. This way i can run two exhaust systems. One obviously being open headers, the other more mild with glass packs. IVe never owned a car i didnt straight pipe, so i thought it would be cool to have options

laynrockers · 06-08-2013, 01:01 AM

Little by little. Goal to have her fired up after the heat passes.

Neatbeard · 06-08-2013, 06:52 AM

WOAH loving this build dude. Keep us updated it looks killer!
