Thx man,

Unfortunately it's a slow moving project due to funds & time

Maybe I'll win the powerball this weekend.... Lol

Thx man,

Yeah that would be cool to meet up for a cruise when she's done.

The Adaptronic is on the back burner till I can order some more parts for the install.
So its still sitting in the box for now.

Thx man, the plan is to upgrade to a Toyota 8" or a ford 8.8
I like Yota 8" cause it's lighter than the 8.8, but we'll see
The fun car funds are low right now so this project is moving at a snails pace :/

The Middle runner of the uim looks like it could use some never dull to clean up. Then hit it with polish
