    That reminds me how I don't care for the faux wood finish of my dash panels on my 9300.

    If i had them down here in Florida with me i would have my buddy punch me out some thick stainless ones on his Trumpf.

    Might have to find a truck junk yard down here to use as templates.

    All you need to do is vinyl wrap. All kinds of designs.

    I know but for all the work to pull the instruments I just as soon replace the 23 year old brittle plastic and possibly hinge it like my company Western Star I used to drive. .

    Not a big deal to program the turret punch.

    Probably do it next winter now that I have thought about it. Just bring the truck down here to the shop and tear into it.

    Really like to do a Tug frame stretch when I have it down here also.

    My buddy has a shear and brake to handle up to 3/8

    His old shop he sold could have done 12 foot 5/8 s. That Brake was made in 1907.

    Total handful braking those sheets.



    I like to ride with the seat lower because I have a long torso and most likely some key gauges will be blocked by the wheel so maybe I’ll take advantage and relocate a few .

    Maybe do a old raceboat move and turn all the instrument due north when their reading correctly .
