    Love that feeling when you take a project out for the first time and your listening and waiting and worrying and hoping nothing falls off or blows up and you get back home and you can stop holding your breath and relax because everything seems ok

    Nothing like the first time behind the wheel of a new build. I have an old folding chair that my Dad cut the legs off of 40 years ago for the first ride in the 40 Ford we built together. He sat in that chair, I sat on a case of oil, LOL.
    Those Dakota Digital gauges look awesome. I really like the retro look as opposed to the flashing numbers deal.
