Was it a big deal to get the torque tube lengthened?
I think I might paint it for now, I can always pull and polish it later, I have like 300 other things to do on it anyway... Uhhh, I don't really know how hard it was to lengthen the tq tube. I put it in a box and it came back that way Was pretty expensive , but it works perfectly. The shop that did it has gone out of business as far as I know...

Next important decision, gauges. Few options I'm looking at.

1. Stewart Warner "wings"?
2. I was thinking of having Dakota Digital do custom gauges in my original gauge rings, I emailed them and they said the gauges would end up in a layout similar to this. I'm starting to think that would be mistake though...


3. Then there's this... I'm starting to like this a lot...

THoughts????
