Thanks guys! You can get the aluminum shifter plate or gauge panel at http://www.jimmy-jams.com - he's who made mine!

They are both aluminum and were powdercoated then the guy that painted them (Jamie at Explicit Airbrush) did the color and clear. I'll take more pics once they are all installed in my car in a few weeks!

Wow! Those look awesome. I'd like to make some plates like that for my car but I'll polish the alluminum instead.

The car should be ready by the first part of April......nothing much exciting to show off on it now other than the beautiful engine bay- that's the only finished painted part! LOL The rest is orange primered and we are waiting on the motor to be finished so we can get that installed and then the painter will work his magic and then we will install the new interior....

The car will have flames and I'm hoping for a real flame look but I haven't made my pick on my graphics person yet. Right now the plan is that the car will be Monarh (Hugger) Orange with black stripes on the hood that will have flames in the stripes. On the side, the word IROC-Z (in the right spot for my year of course!) with flames coming off the word.... :-)


The gauge panel has holes for the gauges silly! I've got Nordskog digital gauges - 1- 3 3/8 speedo, 1- 3 3/8 tach, and 4 of the 2 and something inch other ones - oil pressure, water, that type thing.. then on the top part where the top 2 holes are there is a tiny hole on either side and one in the middle and the 2 on either side are for green indicator lights for blinkers and the one in the middle is for a blue indicator light for my brights indicator!

The shifter plate holds my different switches for nitrous, line lock, etc..... this is how it looked in my car before painting...

It might look that way a little but if ya push the little red one on the end you'd be purging the nitrous (eventually when I get it LOL) !


Oh yeh- here's the right pic for how sexy the car looks right now (not!)....other than the engine bay which is gorgeous for real!

Yeah thanks, I knew what the holes in the gauge cover are for
Just couldnt figure out why you needed all the extra ones in the shift plate

Hmmmm I wonder how an ignition button would look on the shift plate , My bro put one in his truck and its just cool to be able to push the button and Vroom

The whole front and doors and spoilers and valences really need to be all taken off if you are painting - especially changing colors- don't want to miss spots ANYWHERE (like door jambs and such!)!
