    My RTX gauges are back ordered on my 69 mustang. I can’t wait to get my hands on them. Thanks for the video!

    Finding gremlins during the shake down can be annoying, anxious, exhausting and depressing but fixing them is sooo gratifying!

      Thanks Tommy! You are right. The bad thing is when a gremlin you are chasing is the absence of gas. Lol. Thank God I have a working gauge now.

    Love your channel, and I appreciate the fact that you continue to make videos after your project is ‘done’ (they’re never done…). Wish my ‘73 was at the stage of yours.

      Steve we appreciate that. I will be honest and say it has been difficult lately getting the motivation. The channel just hasn't grown enough to justify the time. We are trying to decide where to go from here. Thanks for your support.

      Unfortunate your channel hasn’t got more support, as your videos are very well done. When you think about it, it’s a pretty darn amazing thing you built. Definitely given me the inspiration to tackle my build. I’ll let you know when it’s done. Pretty reasonable to take a break. Would love to see you tackle your 78 Bronco at some point!

    I asked if you could make this video and you did and I appreciate that very much. I just purchased the RTX as well (3 month wait for me im in canada) but i'll be getting the bronco ready for it to be installed. Seems like a never ending project. You're bronco is absolutely gorgeous and I appreciate someone who does all the work themselves like I do.

      @@JasonJonieBuilds well thank you ! I also ordered #8 security screws for when I install the dakota, only because it's the most expensive component on my truck and so easily removed (especially being a convertible). Maybe it's just me being paranoid but may be a good tip for you instead of the factory Philips head screws !

    AOD's are notoriously very, very temperamental when it comes to their TV cable make sure you keep continuing to monitor and adjust it as needed til it's broken in.

      Once the speedometer is out you should be able to remove the bezel screws and remove the glass.
