Thanks, guys. The kind words are motivation to keep going

Speaking of which, I was able to get a little assembly done yesterday. Those door jamb switches are non stop hassles. After first buying a set from local parts stores (and traveling to 4 different ones to locate two switches) I brought them home to discover they didn't even fit. So then I ordered a set from Classic Industries, and installed those this weekend, which did fit. Then I found my originals, and they are shorter in length than the ones from CI. Considering they are original to the car, I know they work. I'm now concerned these other ones will be too long, so I'll need to take them out yet again

Ok, my gauges came back in from Redline gauge works today. I'm stoked. So I put them back in the IP.

I kept the gauge faces stock, as I like them, and they were in fine shape. Redline updated them mechanically- it now has the digital speedo, updated tach, and volt meter. I also painted the back lit areas orange/ red as I don't care for the old GM green lit color. I much prefer more modern red as seen in newer Trans Ams.

If only I could take decent pics...

The pictures look nice and the gauges look great . They do nice work at Red Line. I'm hoping to send mine there.
