Thanks Brent - the dash is a great piece; you'll be really happy with it I'm sure.

I'm working on some stuff now, if I can make it happen I'll have the car in your neck of the woods first week in May. Autobahn will be the first track event in the OLoA...

Sent you a PM David, appreciate the compliment. The event was great fun even though though I didn't have a chance to really show the cars potential.

A couple more pictures of the interior...

A-pillar covers.

Late one night, about three weeks before SEMA... we had just got the 'glass headliner upholstered and the dash was roughed in when we started talking about a-pillar covers... which we both agreed that we needed.

We started with a pair or plastic '67 pieces that we thought we could cut down to make them fit - thin plastic, quick and easy. Problem was that the transition at the headliner was all wrong and the transition at the dash was designed around a 68/69 piece. Didn't work and there's an hour and a half gone...

We found a pair of '68 covers upstairs and started cutting these up...fit well at the dash but not at the headliner and the angle wasn't working well. Tried different angles, started working the edges, shaving that crappy foam plastic stuff... Took about two hours to decide that they weren't going to cut the mustard either. Back upstairs...

Ten minutes later Chris comes down with two enormous metal a-pillar covers - '71 Buick GS leftovers from a previous project. They are, simply put, huge... they look like they are two feet long and about as big around as your arm. It's about 10 when Chris starts playing with them... cuts them in three, gets the length close taking nearly five inches out, sections them, takes an inch and a half out there - and then another, starts molding the ends... I leave around midnight or one to drive home since I have to work in the morning. Chris is "just going to try a couple of things to see if he can make these work"...

When I got the the shop the next afternoon they were in primer and looked like they could have been factory pieces... just increadible work and something that almost nobody will ever appreciate except us.

If you look carefully you can probably make out the GPS antenna beneath the Camaro Performers decal. Mounted inside the car it is still easily able to pick up 8 satellites.

Looks good,and I know what it takes to make those post pieces

Thanks Tracy, I really appreciate the compliment.

I was definately out of my element on the interior and it was a challenge to say the least. The Marquez Design kit really fits well and looks right at home in the '67. There are some changes that need to be made (and are being made now) but for a first shot I think it's not bad.

Roger Conlley is a great guy to deal with if you get stuck with something. He's a good friend and one of the most knowledgable guys that will actually talk to the common folk. He's helped me many times and it has always been spot on. I run there entire setup in the racecar (dash, egt's, driveshaft, shock travel, etc) and have used their video overlay setup as well. I'm also putting their new dash setup in my PT car (Apollo 13) but awaiting Marquez to release the new dash setup. PM me if I can help since they are only about 15 mins from my place.

R U sure you still don't want to sell that ebrake assembly seperate? LOL

Thanks Doug, I'll call him once I get closer to making a decision. Sorry can't brake up the set. LOL.
