The owner wanted upgraded instrumentation in the car, so we approached the dashboard next. First, the top of the dash required some refinishing, so it was stripped, bodyworked, and then went into the paint booth for a re-spray.

Next, a Detroit Speed steel dash face insert was used to house a full set of Autometer Carbon Fiber Gauges. We’ll install Volts, Fuel, Speed, Air / Fuel, RPM, Oil Pressure, Temp, and Vintage Air A/C controls in this panel.

There was a thought to go with a carbon fiber Anvil rear wing, but the owner decided against it and went back to silver.

It looked cool, but it’s all a matter of personal preference.

Finally the wheel tubs were detailed with epoxy, and Imron.

We set the ride height and had the car aligned, put a new base calibration in the Holley ECM, and took it out for a spin! Looks sweet!

Awesome build guys!

The V8TV video highlighting this build...

This car is probably one of my favourite builds because you spent so much time working around an already built car and making it look like you were never there. Excellent job.

I also like the videos. They give a bit of a different angle to the story.

I watched video this afternoon sweet looking car , nice job.
