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.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the response. Keep up the great work on the car and thanks for such detailed posts!

Update!

We are getting really close. Just about everything is done. The few items left are to finish the electrical to fire up the engine, take the car to Maier Racing to have the front anti sway bar made and installed, then install the fornt clip and complete the electrical. We hope to have it done in about one month. Here are some recent photos:

JRI Shocks installed on all 4 corners






Exhaust installed
