67 Camaro project "It Don't Fit"

[Roberts68]

I concur with your last statement 100%

I think the font could be better... bolder or something. I like that NVU has a variety of looks, and if you want to go custom for about $200 more the imagination can run wild.

That said, I really like the features now that I hear your testimonial and took the time to look at their site more. I didn't really grasp the scope the first time as I was mostly browsing for appearance.

I definitely want to do a pair of 3 in 1's but I am not sure yet what they will be or when that might happen. Thank you for the info. Did you announce what color scheme you went with? I might have missed it. For my ride it would likely be blue with silver face but I admit I would prefer the red lighting especially at night. I had an '08 Pontiac Grand Prix and an '82 280-ZX that both had red cockpits and it is hard to beat and easy on night vision.

I never mentioned the color scheme I went with. I decided on the carbon fiber setup with red. I chose the red for the reasons you mentioned. The blue is just too harsh on your eyes at night. I like the red layout much better. After owning a 2001 WS6 TransAm, the red, to me, is the only way to go.

I really like the gauge layout with this style setup. It allows you to continue the use of the original gauge carrier keeping a stock appearance. My interior scheme will be retro, so this will fit better in there. My car is an original console gauge car with factory tach, but those gauges just wouldn't work with the electronic transmission, at least not without spending more money. I built a custom console that is reminiscent to the original console and I was going to utilize aftermarket gauges in the console as the original was. Now, I can't do that with this gauge setup, so I may make use of that area for a double din stereo headunit with GPS. As of right now, I will probably just make it a pocket for storage.

Mine has original console with an early 4 pod aftermarket insert in front of the shifter. Mine is straight and not angled toward the driver. My tach is on the column and just have OE Speedo and fuel in the cluster.
I would either do a full aftermarket gauge layout or a pair of 3 in 1's in the cluster and it is pretty obvious which is a cleaner look. I really haven't compared overall costs.

I'd like to see or try the blue at night before I decided, and I see they have a dimmer option that might dull the effect.

To get a nice set of aftermarket gauges, you will spend quite a bit more than what the cost of the Dakota Digital VHX setup costs. I weighed both options and chose this setup for all the reasons I have mentioned before. I even had an AutoMeter gauge setup prior to purchasing the VHX and decided I did not want gauges scattered all over my dash like a race car. Everything is integrated within the VHX, so it, to me, provides a cleaner, simpler look.

As I wait for Moser to fix the yoke they sold me and for Ridetech to swap out my front coil-overs, I got a little more work done on the rotisserie. I, now, need to find someone that can cut an 8" hole, 7 1/2" hole, 6" hole and a 5 1/2" hole from 1/4" plate. Also make a few gussets and brackets to mount the pneumatic ram jacks.

Finally got to drop my motor into the car and found some fitment issues. I purchased Dynatech headers and was told that the one's I am buying WILL fit with the DSE steering box. Well, no can do. Doesn't fit

Also, I received my Moser yoke back from Moser yesterday and it still doesn't fit. It fits just like it did before they were suppose to broach it for me. I'm at a loss as to what to do with this rearend.

NOTHING FITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Dynatech was supposed to be the go to?

Sorry to hear about the frustrations.

It seems to me that there was a run of Dynatechs where something changed. I might have read it on Team Camaro? If you still have the boxes I would call with part numbers and lot numbers in hand and ask them what is up. I might have heard that Dynatech is now owned by Speedway, perhaps you will have some good luck. It seems you should be due for some right?

I would be chewing hard on Mosers' @$$. Stand firm, make them make it right at no cost to you.
