yea i love this hurst! and got updates for today, got my reverse/a$$hole lights wired up and mounted, got my new grill on, got a horn in it and put my stickers on the inside of the toolbox. had a problem today, we were whelein around and suddenly my gas guage quit workin, along with my blinkers and ebrake light, after tearing the whole dash apart i pulled the switch for the turn signals and played with it and it all started working again. idk what teh problem was, i didnt even know that the switch interfefred with warning lights and the gas guage. also think my reverse gear syncro is going out, hard to get into reverse at times.

Nice pics, just a thought silicone or grommets for those wires through your box they will rub through at some point and start blowin fuses.

Silicone will work I hate grommets sometimes due to the size of the hole you have to drill. I have been trying to think of the same set up I just can't find a nice spot for them.

Nice work, and good to hear it's purrin!

Hmmm, names, eh? Black'n'Blue wouldn't work most likely.... Maybe Blue-Betty? I named my 83 that, but I no longer have her, ... so you could give it to her, haha. "Azul"? Dang, blue ones are harder to name, hahaha. "Big-Bad-Blue"? "B.A. Blueberry?".. Just some thoughts. lol
