Gotta admit that the paint job coming out of nowhere surprised me, but it looks great!

I like your bottle of "Shitbox Oil 27W-68"

The running commentary makes me laugh, and reminds me of my own work.

I am totally on board with "old truck containing a surprising amount of tech", and I appreciate your efforts to make it as OEM-like as possible (repurposing an existing head unit, for example.) That's pretty neat.

Indeed. I wish I possessed the skills and patience to mess with that stuff. I know it's possible, and probably even within my grasp, but every time I start down the path of something like that, I stall out quickly. I was even once an EE student, but dropped when electromagnetics completely beat me up and ate my lunch. It's honestly more of an attention span thing. I can solder and build things, but design work beyond fairly basic is... problematic. Reverse engineering is right out (though fascinating!)
