woot mark one up for Drew and onidragon lol

Awesome work Turbo, are you bringing this one out to the next meet?

I love the chopped up rule bracket, lol.

yeah dk, I'll be bringing it to the meet.

biggy man, sorry I haven't dug any portrait skins out for you yet, I've been working on this car so much & never had a chance to drop my pc back into my other car to get them for you.... that pc can really only be used in that car as I have no other way to power it & no other easy way to connect a screen to it, I will soon though, I've lent that car out for a few days & when I get it back I'll drop the pc in it. I didn't forget you man

ok, minor update.

I've been working on the a/c vents, if there was any place in this install for a comprimise or a shortcut this would be it, I've got next to nothing to work with, but I don't want anything less than 100%,

blacked out cardboard & ductape won't cut it here, so I need to build these whole vent housings & ductwork attachment pretty much from scratch, I spent a lot of time last night figuring out exactly how to do this, I want the original knob dials that open/close the vents to still function like factory, as well as maintaining all 4 way adjustability.... it would be so much easier to have them stationary or to eliminate the open/close dial, I considered these options but in the end that would feel like failure... I set out with the goal of 100% factory like, & the only way to have that is everything has to be 100%

I started to build the framework of these vents last night, I think I have it under control now, there coming out good so far, this is the last real hurdle, these vents are going to wind up being 10+ hours by themselves, I'm already almost 5 hours into them.... pictures tonight

10 hours into these vents so far... the hardest part is over, they work perfect & everything lines up

next is slats, pivots & linkages.... man, this takes a lot of patience

...the insides of these vents have to look perfect, & have to look like they came that way factory. the vents will be as much of a focal point as the screen really in judging the quality of this mod... I think I even impressed myself on this one, I've never done such a quality install for myself, this one I'm holding back all the stops, most times there will be some comprimises made & some shortcuts taken, but this truck is just so fantastic to me that I don't want any comprimise at all, I'm pretty happy with the results

You are going over the top with this mod. If it were me, I would have just made fixed vents that blow on me and the passenger. That's what I thought you were going to do when you started this.
