The problem I found is that the IH gauges are about 1/4 in smaller then the Chevrolet gauge and no one had that artwork.

Finally got the shop pretty much done except for the neon. Doing a photo shoot today in the shop for some calendar. You can follow the truck on Instagram snapon.domenic That is where you can see what I'm doing with the truck. I will load photos from the shoot later.

Well that's a wrap on the photo shoot. Pretty cool day with Mitzi and Co doing the photo shoot for their 2018 calendar. The first shot is one I took of the shoot and the second photo is what it actually looked like... My garage never looked so cool!

Well, Not going to be in Vintage Truck Magazine. The Editor, One doesn't think my Metro is a truck? Two, doesn't think the truck is good enough for the cover of his magazine?
