confuzed---that's the 4inch glasstek cowl. they're out of naperville, IL. good company and service.
kaga152---that's a piece of sheetmetal that i bought from home depot for like $7. I then went home and traced out the plastic cover on the camaro guage cluster. then cut that out. Went over to the Mac tool truck that stops by and bought the 2 1/16", 2 5/8" and 3 3/8" hole saws from him. $57 later plus the initial $7 and a few bucks in spray paint and i'm done. Looks sweet. Don't ask me how much the guages cost though.

also...confuzed, i haven't done any bodywork yet, unless you consider the 21 year old paint, or my swapping ground effects to IROC style.

A Glasstek cowl hood huh? That may be my best bet, cause at least I won't have to pay for shipping - I'll just go pick it up!
Although I've seen many others like yourself change the ground effects to a newer style, I want to keep mine original. Heck, it's one of the only unique things that makes it a 82-84 model!
Again, nice car. I can tell you've put a lot of work into it and it shows! Hope to see you around some day if you travel a little north!
