1st person view I mean. You know what you see when you driving down the street like in my avatar. I want to see how much of the hood you can see.

scauffiel, do you have anymore pics of that? Different angles? Are those guages actually mounted out of the passenger compartment?

I can't quite bring myself to bring her down there just yet. I've only got the drivers side door panel done, and my seams need to be sanded down, etc, etc... It's always something. I'm going to try to get my passenger side door panel done this week so I can run her down there.

Before the friggin summer ends.


Again.

Nice! that was exactly what I was looking for. How did you guess. Nice web page design too. Did you make that? I'm still working on mine. Thats the kinda frame layout that most pages should have. The navigation bar on the left is importan + it links to the left frame. It makes looking at bad *** cars like that well worth it. Thats going into favorites!:rockon:

Thanks guys! I like them a lot; they look pretty sweet lit up at night too.

I did the entire website myself redbird, so thanks for the compliments. I'm working on a "remote control" of sorts; we'll see what ya think of that.

Whenever I get around to implementing it that is.

Thanks again guys,

Steve

Steve, that guage setup on the hood is sweet! I want to do that when I get my ASCD Ram Air hood on my '91 GTA sometime next spring. What are all those gauges for? You still don't have a turbo so...

From left to right: Water Temp, Transmission Temp, Oil Temp, and Oil Pressure.

Installing them took a good days worth of careful work - no real big deal, just make sure that you make the entry way behind the gauges big enough to get your hands into should you need to. AND also think out in advance how you're going to place sensors for things like transmission temps (I added a spot in my deep tranny pan) and oil temp (still haven't worked this one out yet). I'm looking at drilling and tapping my oil pan drain plug and run the sensor through the drain plug. Either that or add a large "T" in my cooler lines that I can screw the sensor into.

I've got a dual pod pillar replacement for my eventual boost gauge, and fuel pressure gauge.

Wellllllllll... progress, kinda. BUT - I'm in the middle of installing a new MP3/CD player head unit, white faced HVAC control label, hooking up my power seats, adding my new M3 side mirrors, fitting fourth gen door panels, pulling all of my interior plastic and covering it in gray synthetic leather to match the seats and door panels (if that takes well, I may add raised flames underneath in certain areas), new matching synth leather shift boot, and clear turn lenses up front. Eventually I'll get around to getting serious about the new taillight idea. I'm also heading out to my storage unit to pull all of my dual TBI stuff out so's I can work on that and the Haltech. It's been ***** cold recently so I've been afraid to work on anything since it's easier to break stuff thats that cold. They don't call me Chief Strongbow for nothing.





Other than THAT, not much going on.


Did I mention I've got a blowthrough carb turbo system sitting in storage that's just begging for attention?

Steve
