I do want to get realy nice pedals some time in the future. Thank you for the compliment.

Custom radio install Here is my pioneer deck custom installed in brushed Aluminum.
Now I need to do the headlight switch plate, HVAC controls & speedo benzel.
Im also gonna paint my speaker grills, vent sorroundings & pillar vents in Aluminum. Hopefully it will all tie in together & look great. Too much of a plastic look all stock. My interior is also tan & the color of the dash(no quite what i would call black) Im planning on dying the doors & dask black except the perferated material in the middle of the door. I will also dye all the back plastic panels & hatch pannels. I think it will look great with the aluminum accents & custom tan & black interior.

MAJOR UPDATE 7/27/05
Dash transition piece is in, stereo is in, and here are some videos of my Autometer gauges in action as promised.
I took the original 69 Camaro defroster vents and put them in the center of this piece I made out of 20 gauges steel. I might eventually cover it in leather. All gauges work 100%!!

im not gonna use silver. Im gonna use plastikote aluminum paint. I know how to prep the plastic & how to wet sand so it will look good. Im even thinkin bout goin with the MacEwen silver faced overlays now. Then I will get a small Aluminum dask trim kit to finish it off.

I used a 300m shift ****. Plan on wrapping the radio bezel and shift plate "drive,reverse,neutral, ect". clear coated center console. And I'm going to get a GTO 5.7 Liter emblem for the dash. I also want to do rings around air vents, but dont know where or how to make those.
