Well, you all know what time it is. Replacing the dash for the 5th time in 5 years this weekend.

Dash has been disassembled and dyed using Colorbond paint. This isn't my first time using Colorbond. It's a chemical dye that bonds with the plastic panel. The dash used to be blue, you cant even scratch this dye off with your thumbnail.

I did get the TH400 back, Friday evening. Installed it Saturday afternoon. Its 99% done, didnt have the two required fittings to install trans cooler. Which I relocated to the grille area, from under the bed.

I need to fiddle with the gauge layouts and update the firmware. As its having an issue with data transfer.

I need to edit the gauge layout. I shift this smallblock at 7500-7700.

Sure, but I hated how cluttered the interior was, let alone trying to keep an eye on 9 gauges.

Everything is in one spot now.
