Should probably have my car running at 100% again before I start ordering things but today I decided I wanted the Dakota Digital VXH gauges in Carbon/Blue along with the trans temperature add-on module. I am having Jake's put a temp port on my 4L80 and I just want to monitor my car's vitals better than can be done with the stock SS gauges. I am not a fan of the 3 gauges under the dash or that would have been the much cheaper & easier way.
My oil pressure gauge is mounted way low where I don't really even see it unless I purposely look. This will put everything where it needs to be in a hopefully accurate cluster. I am still not sure I am 100% sold on the way the gauge faces look but like everything else, hopefully it will grow on me. It took a good bit of debate before I could decide on a color combo but in the end realized I didn't like the look of the silver during the day and the blue would more closely match my Ausley radio text. Matt's Classic Bowtie said 7-14 days before they ship so hopefully in a few weeks they will be here and I can yet again, tear my dash apart.

The engine is all sorted out finally, pushrods have been ordered. I am too tired, and it's too hot to go back out and swap out that door latch - so it can wait a few more days. Back to work on the frame and front suspension next week. October is approaching fast, that is my self-imposed deadline to get it running.

I torqued my front end again on my car and got it ready for a car show tomorrow. Looks like another hot show with the temps around mid 90's tomorrow.

More scraping, sanding, and wire brushing the frame today after work. I am slap wore out between the heat and all the crouching and bending to reach everything. I am off tomorrow, with a little luck I will have it all in primer tomorrow and can start prepping for paint. I am beyond ready to have this thing back together.
