I still need to get the high pressure lines made... trying to figure the best way to go about mocking some up for the shop. I need to get some bailing wire probably, or use off cuts from brake line and some rubber hose to mock up. I know once I do it I will wonder why it took me so damn long.

I'm hoping that when I have the seat redone I can sit further back in the cab a bit and use the tilt to bring the wheel forward. The shift handle was too close to the dash where I had it. I can always go back to the stock mount if it doesn't work out. I don't really like the chrome anyways, i might brush that down so its not so shiny.
