Diamond plate on the inside of the amp box w/ blue neons that actually look good, contrary to popular belief

Nice car, everything flows very well. I like how the headlight buckets are white, and how the wheels have white accents. The sub box looks cool, I would do something similar if I had the time. And the hood looks really good on that side-shot

I've alway love the jongbloed hood, it makes the car look sort of muscle bound while keeping a semi stock look. and incredible good functionality.

Sorry guys, no pics yet but im workin on it. I put about 100 miles on the engine last night, only a couple hundred more till its broken in. The six speed is really nice with the 3.73's and that 350 really wants to see upwards of 3000 rpm.


Heres the problem...my gauges arent working correctly! I unplugged the speedo b/c i dont have the dakota digital box hooked up yet. But my fuel gauge / oil pressure and tach needle jump around or show completley wrong readings. (ie i filled up my tank of gas yet somehow only had a 1/4 tank ? ) Im putting on my autometer tach tomarrow as well so i will be able to get accurate rpm readings. So any idea? I figure its a bad ground somewhere.


Also to help me out before i jump on it, if any of you have done the t56 switch over and have 3.73 gears, which setup did you use on the sgi-5 box to make it work with your speedo? BTW i have a 92 camaro rs, non-mech speedo.

Lol im workin on the pics guys. I work out in lansing in the week and i dont drive my maro out here ($3.00 for premium, no thank you). Ill have some shots up of the maro at the dream cruise this weekend FO SHO !

Jgolden: I live pretty much everywhere in SouthEast MI. My dad lives down by flatrock, my mom lives out near novi, and i just float to my friends everywhere in between.

If anyones goin to to the cruise, let me know, maybe we can hook up with a bunch of F-bodys.
