Re: full Auto Meter gauge install

I would have done this but In Cali we have to SMOG test every two years

Re: Instalation of afertmarket instrument cluster panel

Old cluster comes in and out nicely if you lower the column a few inches by unscrewing the nuts to the end of the bolts. You have to remove the steering wheel of course.

I'm really interested in the Dash wrap you did. Can I get some more details about how you did that?

Are you worried it will warp or crack under the leather?

Re: Reverse Glow Gauges for Camaro

Some of the Z28's (5.7 L98) had 145 mph speedometers. I believe the RS had one that only went up to 110 mph. If it's a 145 speedo then it won't match up properly. That was the only real difference.
