We have almost a full month to plan ahead.

I strongly suggest anyone that wants to go up on FRIDAY to TAKE THE DAY OFF or plan on trying to get out of work early.

I think the plan was to go into IL via the 255/270, therefore avoiding the drive through Downtown STL.

figure we could go down on a Saturday morning-afternoon, camp out overnight, breakfast Sunday morning (there is a mom and pop place that has some really good food not to far away or a buffet at the snack area) think it would be a blast, start throwing out weekends that are open people

No worries, I'm working on getting the gauges mounted currently and my new shift knob is on order. If all else fails I can just make some boots out of vinyl. It won't be as cool, but it will look better than the current super faded faux suede that's in there. And hopefully the new cf shift knob will not absorb heat as bad as the old metal one.

I just put the voltage and oil temp in my car yesterday. They work great but the illumination color has to change. I just can't decide if I want them to be white or blue. Install is super easy, the hardest thing is running the oil temp sending unit wire from the pan into the vehicle. They came with a great t-harness that plugs into your radio harness and provides power and illumination for the gauges. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the little boost gauge since I already have one. I can hook you up with the manual they come with but the only reference I needed was which wires hook up to the sending unit on the temp gauge.
