Re: Ccarel1(from dressed to naked)
Would it be possible to post some more pictures and issues you encountered as you made the transformation from Dresser to Naked?
I just purchased a full dressed Interstate and plan to undress it.
Thanks, Bud...

Re: Ccarel1(from dressed to naked)
The Interstate is easy to undress!You just have to find another headlight,indicators,mirrors etc but it's all fun and games.Remove the counterweight on the steering(yes it's got one)Reduce the wiring that is now exposed behind the weight to what's neccesary and hide it inside the headlight dome.Cut the plastic shroud open around the wiring to remove(it's the easiest)The standard instruments will now look way to big.Remove the plastic cover on top of them to make them look smaller.Above all....Have fun!!

Re: Ccarel1(from dressed to naked)
Thanks for sharing the way to under an Interstate. I was pretty sure that was what's required, but now I am have confirmation and no excuses not to proceed. I'll probably start another thread with what I accomplish as I go.
Later, Bud...
