Oh, by the way, I got the LED's installed for the turn sig./high beam indicators. The pics a little blurry but you get the idea. I'm thinkin' about installing red or blue LED's for the gauge back lighting too.

Here's a daylight one showing how small the bulbs actually are:

boost/vac and clock. maybe i'll add airfuel and but i am not sure where to put it. maybe i'll make a pillar mount and have the air bag gauges in it too.

That shifter is Bad %&@. Where did you find it? I also like the LED's I am switching mine to LED's with the stock gauges just so I can see the speedo at night.

Sorry I guess I should have specified.

I meant F100 builders.

What do you think of the EZwire kit? Good quality?

I am looking at getting one for my Slick.

Thanks guys! Sorry it took a while to reply but I didn't get an email notice. Anyway, the shifter is a Lokar 'radical' 32" for a C6. They make a 23" and a 16" one too. They're all offered with a single bend or a swan neck double bend like mine.
