So, I started to make a billet gauge carrier.

Lots of programming, lots of milling. More to come on this.

Two things I refuse to do on my cars: wiring and plumbing. My friend Randy loves it. So it's at his shop. I designed the wiring and plumbing and he's executing it very nicely.

Always a good thing to see the first item light up.

Always fun to find the stuff you didn't fit up before paint. I need to cut the front sub frame horns to fit the radiator.

Eating that elephant one bite at a time.

It looks like it's coming along nice. I've been holding off on the wiring because I'm not too fond of it either. Those light will let everyone know your stopping. They look nice.

Miles of wire... miles of stainless plumbing.

Just a wee bit of a cut.

Trying to find a place for all this stuff, hide and keep it serviceable is nuts.

and the death by 1k paper cuts continues.

Brake master cyl, clutch cyl and steering column are in, using Mean Streets brackets. The clutch cyl reservoir will be hard plumbed.

Steering column is in, with a custom bracket that mounts the column low in the firewall.

It's an Entropy radiator for an LS in a 73 Camaro... stock sized, that I know of.

Looking at your pictures and looking at mine and my Subframe it looks like I will have to modify it similar to what you have done.
