Updates: covered the entire cluster in two layers of fiberglass resin. Sanded with 80 grit, then 120. Used a very thin layer of bondo on top, just to smooth everything out. Sanded with 120. Used spot putty on other slightly low areas shown by the resin. Just shot a layer of filler primer to see where I'm at. I'm going to test fit this weekend to verify that the gauges will sit at the correct angle to the driver. It should be pretty close but I might have to add some fiberglass to correct the angle.

Since you went through all this to make a custom gauge pod, I gotta ask what do you have planned with all that room where that one gauge and switches are?
What do you plan to put there or is this all for aesthetic reasons?
Kudos on the progress so far, it should be a sick car once its all done.

Market is not for everyone. Although there are a LOT of 93-96 camaros around, you would not have a/c on your driver side and have a dual gauge pod to purchase gauges for.
