S10 dash and doors

Here are some pics of a dash and doors I did for a guy. He bought a mostly completed truck and so far he has dumped a crapton of cash to make it his own. I only did the glasswork and plastic work for him, he had a buddy pinstripe it and some cocky overpriced painter spray it for him.
I shaved the vents, radio, airbag, glove box, ash tray, speaker holes and made an ipad dock out of an ipad cover. pretty basic but it turned out fairly nice

I ended up using more plastic than glass on the doors and dash bezel, mostly to save time and costs.

It just slides in and the headphone jack hooks up to an amp. Pretty easy. I didn't make a mold like I wanted to. It's an iPad cover that I molded in and loped a side off.

Fuck me I just realized I missed TEX MEX. Oh well my truck is nothing more than some 3" box tubing and a cab with no windows doors or floors right now plus I just finished moving into my new house so I wouldn't have made it anyhow. Did you go? If so, how was it this year?

The show was hands down the best I've been to. The trucks were amazing, the staff was great, the weather was perfect (aside from the wind and dust). All in all a perfect show. I'm hoping they do it again next year.

Great job, but I would think there would be some sort of plug/adapter so you could pull the audio from the plug on the bottom and not have to use the headphone plug sticking out on the passenger side.

I'm sure there is some sort of inverter/adapter/dohickey that will do exactly that but this us what he wanted so it's what he got.
He was stoked about it so I'll put that in the win column
