I'ts alive !!!!
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.

Re: I'ts alive !!!!
That cluster looks pretty good in there, looks to be 100% scratch built or did you use part if the original?

Re: I'ts alive !!!!
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.
