Good Morning All,
Just a Quick Update.
I've been looking for a Solution for my Wilwood Brake pedal and I've found it.
The bonus is Shannon even offers a Matching Gas pedal.

Okay so here is what the Pedal looks like direct from Wilwood.
Here are the pedals that I just received from Shannon.
Top notch piece - I'm really happy with the quality.
Okay so here is what they are going to look like.
PS - Thanks to the 2 J's for letting me steal this Picture.
Have a Great Christmas everyone.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics
I was asked how we built the Sheet metal Dash.
This is going to seem strange but this is how this dash was built.
Step One -- Cut off the firewall.
Mocked up the new Firewall with the set back cut into it for the engine.
Finished the Firewall.
Then we moved inside the truck and finished the back side of the firewall and the tranny tunnel.
Mocked up the Seats and installed the Door bars.
Then we mounted the Vintage Air Compact Unit.
Then mounted the Big Stuff 3 and the Specialties Power Wiper Motor.
Then Dave Bent up the Main Dash Panel. Things to note is that we took the curve out of the dash and we also raised up the Passenger side of the Dash to be on the same level as the Drivers Side.
The front of the Dash mounts into the factory mounting holes.
We then took a Stock Syclone Dash Surround and mocked it up.

Then Dave built the Dash Surround out of sheetmetal.
Then we Mocked up the Dash for the Autometer Gauges.
Two Steps were done here. Dave welded a rod to the Dash surround to give it a soft lip. We also mounted the steering collumn in the Dash. We also took the liberty of actually centering the Steering wheel in front of the driver.
Dave then started making all of the support brackets behind the dash.
Picture of the Column coming thru the Firewall with the really nice Flaming Rivers Universal Joint.
Built the support Structure for the dash Bezel.
One more mock up for the Autometer Guages. You can also see that the bottom of the Dash Surround has been finished.

Here is what the Surround looks like off the truck.
Okay, this would be the final Dash lay out.
The next step was to get a hold of Doc at Doc's Kustoms and have him build me a one off Dash Panel. Doc offers a great Kustom service and was super easy to work with.
Doc had one of his guy's draw it up.
Okay now the fun part - Hop on a plane and fly to Florida to watch the piece get cut.
Final Piece cut and placed in the Dash Surround.
Autometer was kind enough to lend us some Guages for Mock Up.
Here is what it looks like on the truck.
Back View of the surround so you can see how the panel is mounted.
Dave then cut the opening in the Dash pad.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics
Mounted the Surround and sprayed some color on it so you can get an Idea what it looks like.
Kris from Autometer came out to the shop and brought the gauge that he thought would look good on the truck.
We agree.
The next step was to place the Radio, Billet Specialties Vents and the Vintage Air Controller.
Time to mount more stuff behind the dash. We wanted to have the American Auto Wire harness mounted in the stock location for ease of wiring.
The switches were recessed into the dash to keep it clean.
The bottom of the dash is mounted to the tabs on the lower part of the "B" pillar.
Mounting of the MSD box.
Mounted the billet Defrost vents in the dash.
Dave finally caps off the sides of the dash.

Marked the location for the radio.
Picked up the head unit.
Mounted the Radio and the Vintage Air controller in the dash.
Instead of having a tacky strap holding the radio, Dave insisted on making a real mount for the radio.
Finished piece to cap off the bottom of the dash surround
Yep - your not going to believe it - Back to Florida.
Okay now to mock up the interior one last time.
The goal with the dash was to get near the factory center counsule so there wouldn't be a need to intergrate them into each other.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics
Took the dash over to "Body Language" to get it painted to protect it.
All that is left is to put in all of these pretty Autometer Gauges.
Each gauge was choosen and has a specific location based on the sweap and the need to see the guage.
There is still plenty more the plenty more that is going to be done to the dash and I will go back and update this part of the thread.

I had lunch with Bob Thrash from Rad Rides today and I am going to be flying him out to Kenny's shop so he can work with Kenny & Travis on the two tone and all of the graphics.
Man am I excited.
But there is one problem it's over Valentine's Day weekend - that's not good.!!!!
