We finished with the quad gauge
Here’s the back all wired with the capalaries attached
Here’s Wyatt wiring them in
Here’s the speedometer complete with faceplate

now we didn’t get the speedometer in, I forgot a light socket in my Tahoe. But the quad gauge sure looks great!
Tomorrow: install speedometer and rework tail lights. (I’m not happy with the installation)

so today I had Christian change the tail light disks from surface mount to mounting inside the bedrail. I am much happier with the appearance of them now!

And of course here is Wyatt, hard at work, Wiring this thing!
The gauges are installed and all the interior wiring is complete
The seat was installed to mark the holes.
Tomorrow bolt the seat down, find the mysterious vacuum leak that’s bogging the engine down at high rpm, and get the window reveal trim installed.
