CRUISIN’ THE COAST 2026: DAY 2 – Long Beach, Gulfport, & D’Iberville
After a soggy start on Sunday, Cruisin’ The Coast 2026 shifted into high gear on Monday, October 5. The skies cleared, the crowds rolled in, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast came alive with chrome, horsepower, and enough automotive eye candy to keep your head on a swivel. From the bustling activity at Cruise Central to the streets of Long Beach and the autocross course in D’Iberville, Day 2 delivered a little something for everyone. And with the 30th anniversary celebration just getting started, there was plenty more to come.

IN WITH THE GOOD AIR
When a B16A-equipped CRX EF came into the Rage Performance shop for a Skunk2 intake manifold install, the crew dove into the job with a fury. With cameras at hand to document the swap (’88-’91 CRX) for your personal pleasure, the job took no time at all and the owner of this Honda is deliriously happy with the results.

THE SNOWBALL EFFECT
The Fox-body Mustang is undoubtedly becoming one of the most popular Fords of all time, and the abundance of aftermarket components is its main attraction. Every aspect of the ’79-’93 Mustang is upgradeable, and whether you want a killer street car or an all-out drag car, the Fox-body Mustang proves to be a great platform for all kinds of performance goals. B.C. Happach of Pekin, Illinois, recognized this great potential and bought a ’91 Mustang hatchback back in March 1996. Small upgrades here and there, including a NitrousWorks plate kit, gave Happach a street-friendly Mustang that consistently ran in the high 12s with the stock suspension.

You’ve got the stance where you want it. The wheels work, the engine sounds right, and that old Chevy gets plenty of attention wherever you park it. Then you climb inside and look at the dashboard. Does it feel like part of the finished truck, or another project you keep putting off?
The Intellitronix AP6002 analog gauge panel gives 1964–1966 Chevy truck owners a reason to move the instruments up the list. Its direct-fit design combines analog instrumentation with a black polycarbonate surface and brush-stroke finish, bringing a fresh look to a familiar dashboard.
Give the Driver’s Seat Some Attention
Paint and wheels get their moment in the parking lot. The dashboard gets your attention for the entire drive.
The AP6002 brings speed, RPM, fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and water temperature together in one panel. Turn-signal and high-beam indicators handle the everyday essentials, while automatic nighttime dimming adjusts the illumination for evening cruises.
There’s something satisfying about finishing the part of the truck you spend the most time looking at. Whether you’re sitting in traffic or heading out for a Saturday morning drive, the instruments belong in the conversation when you’re planning interior upgrades.
Changed Your Tires or Gears? Dial It In
A different tire diameter, new rearend gears, or a transmission swap can leave your speedometer needing some attention of its own.
The AP6002 offers push-button speedometer calibration, along with an odometer, trip meter, high-speed recall, and 0–60 and quarter-mile timing functions. Its tachometer can be configured for four-, six-, or eight-cylinder engines.
That flexibility gives the dashboard room to keep up as your project evolves. You might be finishing the truck today, but we all know how easily another upgrade finds its way onto the list.
Keep Your Truck’s Vitals in View
The 160-mph speedometer and 8,000-rpm tachometer are joined by supporting gauges covering 10–18 volts, 0–100 psi oil pressure, and 100–260 degrees Fahrenheit coolant temperature. The fuel gauge supports 0–30- and 0–90-ohm senders.
Those are details worth considering before ordering, especially if your truck has already seen changes to its drivetrain or fuel system. A little planning helps make the gauge upgrade part of the build’s overall direction.
What’s in the Box?
The Intellitronix AP6002 kit includes:
Analog gauge circuit-board assembly.
Clear acrylic lens.
Water-temperature sender with a 1/2-inch NPT adapter bushing.
Oil-pressure sender.
S9013 universal GM speedometer sensor.
Mounting kit and screws.
Installation instructions.
A fuel-level sending unit is not included; the system can use a compatible existing sender. The bezel is also not included.
Plan the Setup for Your Chevy
Before placing the order, consider how the instruments will connect to your truck’s drivetrain. The installation guide covers speed signals from a transmission-mounted sender or compatible factory electronics. An optional GPS speedometer sender, LS swap kit, and quick-connect wiring harness are also available.
Choose the components that suit what’s under the hood and what you have planned next. Getting those details sorted now helps keep the dash project moving.
An Upgrade You’ll Enjoy Every Mile
Some upgrades draw a crowd. Others make you appreciate the truck a little more every time you drive it. A finished dashboard can do both.
Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, the Intellitronix AP6002 gives your classic Chevy’s interior another opportunity to shine. You’ve put thought into the view from the curb. Give the view from behind the wheel the same attention.
Take a closer look at the Intellitronix AP6002 analog gauge panel and choose the setup for your 1964–1966 Chevy truck.
