It seems to me that the blue roll pan pictured would go along with Greg's Corvette theme that he has going on with his truck. Corvette Blue paint, Vette paint scheme, Vette motor and wheels. I think it would be a nice tie in. I'm pretty sure Greg's tired of paint and body work on the truck though and he's prob not wanting to repaint where the taillights would be.

Paint scheme and motor is one thing... but trying to make something it isn't is NOT to my taste. Maybe when it was in "style" a ZR1 roll pan would be cool, but as it sits I prefer the taillights in the location they belong. The only thing I personally like seeing in a roll pan are chrome tips exiting flush to the pan.

Nah. The way it sits for sure. You wouldn't want to mess up perfection with some tacky Vette tail lights on a truck. The back bumper looks very sharp on this truck. I would love to get something like that done on my truck (see sig).

Greg, Have you made progress on the interior at all? I know you were trying to figure some wiring issues but I think you got those resolved. I would love to see the Tyclone complete with the leather interior and overhead console installed, fresh carpet and all the interior trim installed.

I think I remember you saying that you don't have an exhaust yet for this beast. Have you done anything about that yet? Were you going to do dual tip Vette exhaust, or a custom?

Back to the dreaded dash project. I have the dash all but removed. I have all the bolts and screws removed, I followed the directions on BlazinLow.com. http://www.blazinlow.com/index.php?what=tech/dash/dash It still is not free. I don't really want to force it and break anything. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Everything removed


Stripped and nekked


Pulled back and loose

I bet there are some hidden screws under the speaker covers.

Hmm I pulled a parts dash from a parts truck and didn't have any issues. It was actually easier than I expected. Did you get the bolts by the kick panels?
