OneLapCamaro - Marquez Design Interior

Love it James!! It's well thought out and usable!

Looks Great Jin, why the fuel guage and oil if the IQ3 has it all? I'm looking into one for my car. Also what kind of touch screen did you use?

Thanks for the compliments guys. My hat is off to Pasqual and Marquez Design - they are definately on their game right now!

Link for the steering wheel quick release: SnapOff

They offer a street and a race version which is SFI approved (for whatever that's worth). The street version offers some redundant protection but I am very happy with how effective the race version is. The only criticism that I have - and it's not the fault of the quick release hub - is that the hub is a slightly larger diameter than the hub on the colunm. It's only an eighth of an inch at the most and is due to the taper on the Ididit hub but it's there. I'll probably deal with that at some point in time in the future but I have enough more meaningful issues to deal with before I get there.

I'll shoot some more garage shots tomorrow. The interior is really one of my favorite parts of the car and there are lots of little details that are easy to miss if you don't know to look for them. Some funny stories there too - the A-pillar covers are were a project unto themselves (which is both funny and sad at the same time).

Cheers!

Very nice James. It is blending together nicely.

The steering column is one of the items that unless you start looking closely at it, you would think it's just a standard '67 column. It is far from that. It is very nicely integrated into the steering and support systems.

The autometers are fuel level and fuel pressure. Supposedly the Racepak can be adapted to read fuel level (with some work) but the autometer seemed to be the more dependable solution. The Racepak is more than capable of reading fuel pressure but (a) I wanted to balance the fuel level gauge on the dash and (b) I am using the IQ3 to monitor and log pressure on the fuel rail while the autometer will monitor pressure at the regulator which is at the back of the car. The head unit will probably be a Kenwood piece - most likely a DNX-8120. The Garmin GPS is a great feature.

James-

Followed this build all the way through. Simply awesome in every way. It was a pleasure seeing at SEMA. Marquez interior is awesome. I liked the dash so much I got one for my 55. I'm half way there on getting the dash installed in my 55.

Very nice, I can't wait for a chance to see this car in person.

That's interior looks superb! I was contemplating using racepak on my current build, but decided to stick with Autometer stuff for looks. I hope to get a chance to use it on my next build up.

Who sells the racepack?
