Amazing car, Brian. Can't wait to see it on the track for the first time.

A couple of quick questions...

1) About the dash... in an earlier post you mentioned its a VFN dash. I looked on their site and the picture they have posted looks different than your dash (the gauge area is more recessed). Did you modify that section of the dash, or is the picture on the VFN site just not accurate? I like the layout you have better. Here's the picture from their site (http://vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm):

2) What size tach and speedo are you using? 3 3/8" or 4"

3) Finally, how many cans of the 3M Rocker Guard paint did you use? At $24/can, it's kind of expensive stuff but it sure looks killer!

Thanks!

It is a VFN dash that Maier Racing customized for me. The instrument cluster was moved back to clear the roll cage. Maier Racing does a lot of custom fiberglass work, so it was easy for them.

I am using 4" large gauges and 2 1/8" small gauges.

One can is plenty. I used about 1/2 a can.

We have been on hold for the last week or so as we took the Corvette down to RTTC II. I am also going to Las Vegas for NASCAR in a couple days with my buddy that is doing the plumbing. We may do a little this week, but much more next week.

It was good meeting you & your dad @ RTTC Brian! Looking forward to the Camaro getting done :thumbsup:

Update!

We are getting really close. Just about everything is done. The few items left are to finish the electrical to fire up the engine, take the car to Maier Racing to have the front anti sway bar made and installed, then install the fornt clip and complete the electrical. We hope to have it done in about one month. Here are some recent photos:
