[99 to Life]

my take on patch panels are like the rest of the build, some stuff your better off buying some not. the point of having a cab thats as ruff this is to keep costs low. I already have to buy cab corners. With all the patches, including the rip off 5-600 new floors. I could buy a whole truck for that, and or even a pristine cab. So for me its just either, buy a pristine cab or do almost all new patches. Since a stock floor would serve me no good with my tunnel and bracing, making that isn't bad. I been getting tubing from suppliers at a fraction of the cost retail, so it's even more worth it. Do I wish the one day a weekend I have to work isn't making the cab sturdy and working on things that make it go vvvvrrooom, of course. But I'm balling on a budget and spread thin. So I'd rather buy projects going to the scrap yard (where this truck was going) and bring them back to life. Just like the dash I did for it. I plan to start making patches in bulk, just like IFS xmembers and some other things. I have quite a few of these trucks lined up, so to keep costs down I gotta skip the middle man as much as possible.
