My 5 Alarm Hoe

[Cattivo]

Find someone with a z71 and swap running boards.

I already threw the stock running boards in the dumpster lol

I'll tell you what brother, I'm going down to Englishtown in a few weeks to race my truck...let me know what you need, I'll throw it in my truck(if it fits) and meet up with you

Very, very generous offer! Let me know when you're coming this way, if I don't have anything going on, maybe we can meet up!

I thought you had an NNBS??? you can have whatever you want brother...I wasn't sure if you felt like driving all the way down from Canada lol

He's upstate New York, isn't he?

I took the day off from work today after hurting my back in the gym last night...I gotta stop lifting like a 20 yr old lol

I did some more custom work to the Escalade clock bezel using a sheet of 1/8'' black ABS plastic.



I made a cardboard stencil then transferred my measurements over to the ABS plastic



I used Q-BOND to attach everything together...this stuff is amazing! I mixed the black powder with the glue waited for it to start smoking then watched it harden into plastic! great stuff



Here is what it looks like after it drys...turns hard as a rock

I installed 2- 52mm gauges in the bezel but I kinda rushed it and didn't line them up perfect...I'll fix it another time

Just need to find my 4 gang switch plate for my rocker switches I'm going to install on the bottom half of the bezel one of these days

Looks good. Matches the size of the click perfectly. Which gauges do you have and what do they monitor?

Thanks brother, I have a bunch of gauges but they're all M.I.A. at the moment (too many boxes & too many parts)

For now, I threw in a voltage gauge and a clock until I locate everything...the holes will fit any 52mm gauge regardless. I was tired of looking at the open slots...I still need to add a piece of ABS plastic up by where the traction control hole is

Or maybe some kind of switch for something. Switches are always better!

I'm going to keep all the rocker switches together under the 52mm gauges...I have a thermal camera(night vision) I bought for my other truck I may use to fill in that area if I can get it to fit somehow
