Got a little work done. I removed the tranny and TC shifters to get my sheetmetal shifter cover kinda fitted up: Its only temporary till I get going on my duals and have to mod it down the line. Still need to trim out the shifter openings.

While that stuff was out, i started fitting up some free, green carpet. Dont know if I gonna stick with it or not.

Miniature golf anyone?

I know it looks like turf/shit. Kinda gives me a Christmas look though.

How 'bout just making a tunnel then when you dual it, you can flat belly at the same time!

 

[Boomtacoma01]

That would be the thing to do. Just dont have the tools to do it...yet

I got my shifter cover mocked up and the holes drilled out last night. It will use the OEM screw holes to attach it to the transmission tunnel. It turned out a little better than i thought. At least is will keep the heat and fume from coming into the cab. I still need to cut the holes out of the shifter boots when I bring a jigsaw home from work.

Got a little done this weekend.

I cleaned/scaped/vaccumed and degreased the floorpan. Then hit it with a little rust preventative/neutralizer. Plugged up a couple small holes with some caulk.

Then I hit it with a little self etching primer and two heavy coats of bedliner in a can.

I also got my shifter plate finished, painted,installed. Wired up my Boston 6x9's anmd got them put in too. I need to figure out asome brackets to keep themn in place.

Everything thing is just about ready to put back in the truck.

I also took off the front half of my front DS so I can trim a couple inches off of it.

I even fired up Ol Red to make sure he still knew how and let him idle for a while
