pardon the car being so dirty, it's a project of course, especially the center section over the ebrake, it's going to be disassembled and repainted soon, the center console is just sitting in here for now, so i can check clearance,
the ebrake handle and boot came out better then i thought they would

the mirror switch controls most of the radio functions, swi-x unit, the two green buttons will be changed to a more subtle black, the green ones were for testing, one is mute and the other is radio function,

now that i know everything clears i can re paint it and wrap some stuff, the radio face had to be moved into the dash, the normal area for the radio has been replaced with the fuel pressure gauge, the choke ****, and primer switch, i can control most radio functions with one finger, the hot water **** controls subwoofer volume, that same piece also controls the door locks

first off, PUNCTUATION!! it would make reading everything you are saying soo much easier.

with that said, more than likely you would be ok. but when changing something big on a setup like that, it is ALWAYS best to get it re-tuned. every single engine is different and will respond differently to the parts thrown at it.
