How is the gravel guard applied? Is it an aerosol?

I can't seem to find it.

Not done yet. The small details are killing me. We have also spent a little time gettting the Corvette ready for the RTTC II.

Amazing car, Brian. Can't wait to see it on the track for the first time.

A couple of quick questions...

1) About the dash... in an earlier post you mentioned its a VFN dash. I looked on their site and the picture they have posted looks different than your dash (the gauge area is more recessed). Did you modify that section of the dash, or is the picture on the VFN site just not accurate? I like the layout you have better. Here's the picture from their site (http://vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm):



2) What size tach and speedo are you using? 3 3/8" or 4"

3) Finally, how many cans of the 3M Rocker Guard paint did you use? At $24/can, it's kind of expensive stuff but it sure looks killer!

Thanks!

It is a VFN dash that Maier Racing customized for me. The instrument cluster was moved back to clear the roll cage. Maier Racing does a lot of custom fiberglass work, so it was easy for them.

I am using 4" large gauges and 2 1/8" small gauges.

One can is plenty. I used about 1/2 a can.
