You're welcome and that is going to look very nice.

I love the seats and have considered having him make me set as his work looks so nice. However that will be for version 3.0 of my car.

My first objective was to get rid of the stock gauge pod and replace it with something more fitting of a pro-touring car. I considered fabricating a new gauge pod that could hold an assortment of proper analog gauges; however, there isn’t a lot of space in a first generation Nova dash. I decided to incorporate Holley’s new 12.3” digital dash, whch offered the ability for various dash layouts, all with the swipe of a finger - you can swipe between dash layouts by swiping the touchscreen, just like a smart phone. I was able to customize my dash layout by adding digital gauges and read outs to reflect whatever info I wanted to display that was captured by my Dominator ECU, or that I fed into the digital dash. Below is the base layout that was embedded in the dash. I had a graphics designer modify the template by changing the boost gauge in the Holley template to an oil temp gauge (cost $50 on Etsy)...
