WTF
89S I glanced at that and my first thought was SWEET someone makes it already. Then i realized that it is a drawing, none the less that is ALMOST EXACTLY what I had in mind. Looks like I need to get a donor interior trim piece. and get to building it.

Thanks a ton i could see it in my head but just have no skills at putting it on paper

Hell yeah! That's the ticket 89S!!! Pops, just get you some cardboard boxes and start mocking that thing up. Then transfer it to some mdf, wrap it in matching vinyl, then your rig will officially be pimped!!!

Not gonna go with vinyl, instead I am gonna dip it, the vents, dash bezel, door trim bezels with carbon fiber hydrographics.

I never heard of that before. Is that something you can do yourself?

Yes it is there are film dip kits made for around $100.00 that will be enough to more then likely do everything I want.

I had an idea to do a console with a shifter cut out and a boot that covered the entire trans tunnel. If you have people in the truck you'd just have to tell them to deal with it or find another ride haha. I don't think it'd be that hard to do... You just have to do some junkyard searching to find one that comes close to fitting.
