Finally after over a year now the motor is running again, I put a 1997 firebird motor and 6 speed standard trans, just got the motor running still have a lot of loose ends to tie up but it's like you breathe new life into the project once you fire it up.

That cluster looks pretty good in there, looks to be 100% scratch built or did you use part if the original?

I used part of the old cluster that was in really bad shape to make a mold then removed it i still have a lot of work to do to it just still in mock up stage.

Thanks, i'm not that big on the gauges either but i can't afford 500 to 800 for a new set of gauges lol!! , so i'm cheap and used what i had as long as i can make it look good i'll live with it.
