I like it

Sometimes I begin to think I could have done mine a little better.. :/
But its there and looks good..
Next switches will have to be on the console 4 me.. Im out of room up on the dash..
btw, somewhere along the way.. i saw pics of a guy who got one of those shelves that go over the visors who built a faceplate to the shape of the ceiling, then mounted allllll sorts of cool stuff up there including back-up camera, CB, Nav. and a friggin bevy of switches..

good job!

Electric fan. That way he doesn't have to wait for the temp sensor to click the fan on. This allows for better air circulation creating a cooler engine bay.
