    Build The Monkey is Back

    @Living in the Past - did you get my most recent PM? Haven't heard back from you so I thought maybe something went wrong and you didn't get it.

    @Chamba - How long did it take to calibrate your Dakota Digital instrument cluster? And how difficult was it?

    I bought a really good shape used one for my driver's side for I think $50 or $70.

    You can't go wrong with J.B. Weld because it's made in East Texas. I even used it to seal up a circular curved cut in the back side of the radiator of my '69 Chevy pickup (in your late teens / early twenties don't drink several beers and try to push something solid over with the front of your...

    Oh I get it. I read that and thought to myself "That sounds like something I would do."

    I am thinking about doing the same thing. Which one did you order? Are you going to have it wired to a manual switch, or are you going to have it setup so it comes on when you open a door?

    I. Terms of outdated tech.... I see your CD changers and raise you a Commodore Vic 20 (yes, before the Commodore 64, way before) and single sided single density floppy disk drive (about 5 1/2" floppy disks( that I worked my a--hole off to earn the $400 for (that was just the floppy disk drive...

    I know what you mean. I had a GREAT Pioneer stereo with I think a 10 or 12 CD changer hidden that I actually moved into 3 different vehicles. It was great!

    That's why I am so glad that Tim has completely sealed mine in epoxy first, then primer, then paint. It 'should' be pretty well protected from the humidity, salt water if playing on the beach, and salt air. 🤞

    FYI - today that quick connect for the amplifier that I ordered arrived. I just wanted to be transparent and say that it didn't seem very quick / easy to connect or disconnect due to a rather sharp edge on the male part of the connector. So I grabbed some Emery cloth off the pegboard in the...

    Oh man! You had me! I thought you found an area to go off roading here in Central Florida, but then I saw the 4x4" post and the tree house and realized "He's just playing in his back yard! If he digs any ruts his wife is gonna be irritated!" LOL! Sneaky sneaky! I think if I look closely enough I...
