So close to being done, just waiting on the seat from the upholstery. Recovered dash pad and Headliner installed. Added just some little steps and the trim rings on the wheels.

Materials on dash pad? I started out by filling all the cracks in the dash pad and smoothing it all out and then the guy doing the upholstery covered it in the same leather that he is using on the seat. He did a tuck and rolled seam around the gauge cluster hump which is quite thick and looks a little funny where had he done just a double stitched seam like he did on the other parts of the dash it wouldn't look so bulky but still looks good and better than anything aftermarket I have found that's for sure.

Truck is now finished. Had to fight with the headers as they were leaking bad on the rear drivers side so ended up cutting the flanges and using remflex gaskets to get them to seal up. Glad to be done this one and ready to cruise around.
