Got bored last night. Installed radio, the usb mode found everyfolder on my phone it is totally awesome! You can browse folders and shuffle all with the remote. hooked up lights just for the hell of it too. I got all the lights to work on the old gauges and will start mounting them tonight, I put templates up. The fish finder I am not sure on I may trim the windshield once I get ready to mount it just haven't decided yet. I sent pictures to James at PS he is a stand up guy for sure. He told me to make sure and order anything else I need to make it look new!

Craig just some info you might want to paint your gauges black before you put them in your console if not of a night you will have a green glow to your console, just something to think about, looking good though keep up the good work.

Looking good, you have it ready to drop in, so you ahead of us in that!, I know you don't have the weather to work out in like we do, but then we had to put on long sleeve shirts and turn on the patio heater last night.

Crappy weather coming late this coming week so itll be a couple of weeks again. I ordered a glove box, steering cable, and toon cleaning supplies etc, from James last week. He said you need whatever it takes to make it look new. I have a feeling my toons will be last but I will get them done. Probably not the insides though.... I am glad I got the steering cable it is so much easier my old one was pretty stiff.

Got the glove box installed! My second order came in and everything was here in two days. The only thing to comment besides awesome is one table leg insert it was scuffed a little bit, my secondary ladder was the same no pics of that, Not worth enough to send back, but did promise to comment.

Due to the snow I worked from home today. Really wanted to get speakers mounted in my corner bases. Damn battery died on my drill and I don't have an old fashioned one.

oh well hopefully this weekend speakers will be mounted. Since I don't have the barn or sweet ass weather Herb does we are going about our rebuilds at different directions.

Just because your toon under a few feet of snow, your using that as an excuse :rofl .

You are ahead of me in the electronics, I don't even have any gauges yet, I seen a speedo I wanted, 0 to 35, so 20 mph is over half way, but haven't seen it since I found it the first time, the GPS is a better speedo anyway.

You got stuff out of the boxes and hooked up and working while mine is still sitting untouched while I inhale aluminum dust, you'll get er done when the weather cooperates.

Did you find controls yet ?, I asked Jason the guy we are getting the engine from if he had another set of top mount controls laying around, well what I told him was the first thing that came to mind after reading your earlier post about controls, when he said all I have is top mount controls for it, I said that will work but will piss off Craig, Jason asked who is Craig and I told him you were the other guy who got a toon makeover and needed a set of top mounts.

So he said he would ask around for you and let me know.
