Gaahd DAMN!!!!! Your Roc Shop is even nicer than I thought. You've been workin' bruh and it shows. Well done. I'm no longer joking about moving next door lol. You might think I'm still joking but really, I'm not!
The Monte is lookin' sick as usual. I wish I could present my work as nicely as you do! Lots of nice detail. I hear you about shops ****ing up your sh*t and not taking responsiblity. That's the whole point -- we try to get away from having ANYONE else touch your car but you. That's the whole beauty of your whole setup... and I gotta say, well done bro!
P.S. when you present your shyt like this, it's appreciated by so many people including me! Keep up the good work!
WOW!! Thanks for that bruh. You guys keep me motivated to learn this stuff and keep moving forward. Its a bumpy road, and Ive messed alot of parts up, but its all for learning ya dig? Thanks again bruh. Man I wanna go turn some wrenches now. LOLOL!

Looking good as always bruh! can't wait to see the air cleaner setup complete. keep up the good work!
Thanks bruh! I still gotta get some other piping and couplers to finish it off, but Im gettin there. Should look pretty crazy once done...Thanks for checkin back..
@ Deezy...Oh yeah bruh! You gotta swing by, I gotta fresh marker waiting. Imma try to get things crackin in the shop and get it as "functional" as possible. Gettin some shop lights today. Found a sweet deal on C-list. I got some new updates on the whip too.
Started on this project a while back, but never got a round to finishing it up(apt living sucked for getting work done on the ride) Gauge cluster project. I had filled in the groove where the pinstripe goes and cut some holes for hauges. I also had smoothed the center section. I want the top pinstripe and then have the bottom pinstrip follow the lines around the steering column. It will make the smoothed "T" section pop out. I also picked up another Audio Control Bass knob and mounted it in the passenger side mirror spot. I have power mirrors on a
caprice switch that controls both mirrors, and that hole neede to be taken care of. Here's a few pics..
Made a swall template and made a cutout from an old cd, used some tape to hold it in place and layed some plastic epoxy over it
Backside
Layed some more epoxy and tape down on the backside for extra strength. Marked and drilled the holes to mount the knob
Placed the sticker on just to see how it would look. Came out decent.
Started running some wire to power it. This was done just for the pics...Also Ive had these gauges for 5 years wrapped up in boxes. Did know if they would even work. All the gauges have been moved from place to place. This was my first time seeing them lit up
Radio flip project almost done

With the shop almost finished up, I can finally finish up all these lil projects I started waaaay back. Ive been getting all the wiring, splicers and other lil tools together to complete all the jobs. I cleaned up all the exposed wiring the old shop effed up also. Still looks like a rats nest, but at least its safe now. No frayed wires all over the place. I'll run everything really clean when I swap dashes. Thanks again for the input fellas. Keeps me goin strong! My girl is headed out to do some shoppin with her Aunt. That means I get to play in the shop ALL DAY LONG! LOL
