Well I finally got around to taking some pictures of my truck after I fixed her, and put in my OHC.

Here she is before the accident.

Here's a sneak peak of my next project (other than a good wash and wax).

Update

Well I decided that I liked the look of the black console, so I decided to paint my console black. I used the Krylon fusion paint.






And instead of painting the armrest, I got some black vinyl from Jo-Ann fabrics. A half yard was enough material to do two armrests. I tried for about an hour to make the front of the armrest wrinkle free, but I couldn't.





Here's how it looks in the truck.




Over all I think it turned out pretty good for only having spent $11.

I like the console. Nice work. How difficult was the wiring in the OHC?
