you know, i don't care about modded interiors. if it all works and is halfway clean i can be happy with the stock one and just add a few guages and stereo. but that being said, i like that a lot. a whole lot.

Thanks Alex, we going to use modified Archie door panels. For the first set up we are going to use the same gauges that were use in Archie's roadster. The gauges will most likely be updated to a LCD display in the near future, I have my eyes on a few displays.

It took almost 48 hours for someone to notice that.
Yet the small brakes get noticed right away.

Some updated pics of the interior mockup.
We got the front speakers mounted up under the dash pointed down.
We still have a little fitting on the door panels & we take it out to mount up the gages & other goodies.

I don't know what's wrong with my EMail but I haven't been getting any email at Archie@v8archie.com for the last 3 days & I don't know how to fix it.
Try to re email it to v8archie@v8archie.com if you will.
& call me tomorrow too.
Thanks
