A friend of mine always said: "an exhaust should be heard, and not seen"

I always thought that was children... :sieg:

Wait... that was seen and not heard.

Carry on...

A few updates:

I dig the throttle body theme vents...those look cool.

I did that look to my chevelle but I used the 300 Deluxe tail light bezels just a thought.

Those AC vents do look good! Nice choice.

That was the original plan but those still protrude from the body and boy howdy are dem thins spensive when you can find them.
We are going for the super flush look.

Looking good. Always loved the '67 model.

What was the source for the tank filler bung and cap? Been half looking for that design with no luck. Thanks!

Thanks, yeah i love the quaility of these vents and the brushed look as well...

It looks great I love the vents on the dash.

Hi John,

They are made by allstar performance, part number 36160.

Figured id post a few updates:

We got a good bit of dash work happening, im not a big fan of dash pads and i wanted the newer look for the car. So why not leather wrap the whole dash!

On too the next issue, I really wanted to keep the GTO seat headrest in the rear. So we had to create some clearance.

Good by package tray!

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...psaqss8evg.jpg

It created a nice lean to the back seat, and helped them clear the bottom of the rear window.

Those seats look good in there :thumbsup:

Thanks, were working hard to try and make it look as natural as possible.

Here are some more complete pics of the dash!

The car is looking great. I love the way you did the dash, and the dash pad came out nice.

That's a sweet build there

Got some new shoes!

Did I see correctly you're going with an 8.2 10-bolt rear end? Can you tell me some more about what you did to that unit?The car looks great so far,killer work!...cheers

Dave

Upgraded with a modified 31 spline Eaton posi unit, Yukon gear 24150 3:55 ring n pinion and Moser 154H alloy custom fit 31 spline axles.

Thanks for the info Vince...again great work.I've heard as well as read that the 8.2 wasn't worth building when compared to it's 8.5 big brother but with all the updated internals I'd guess it's a tough enough unit when done right...I have two 8.2 units in my garage which is why I was asking...thx

Hi Dave,

Yeah they are ok stock, better if upgraded.

I would not use them for drag racing. From what I have killed in the past the weak points are the pinions and axles. Fix those two deals and you are golden.

When ever someone tells me they suck I just say "yeah, but they are lighter".

Have not posted in a while, figured id circle back with updates...

It looks like a nice set up, how close do you get to it before it lights up?

Thanks,

Roughly, 5 feet but its adjustable.

I talked with dakota digital about my dash as i was not happy with the silver and red theme. they changed the dash to black with led white lettering and red pointers. Looks much better!

That's how I'm going in the spring…very nice combo!

Dash looks great!
