Search "Raammat" w/ google to see their site and pricing. If you have any questions, email Rick he's very helpful

I ended up using:
2 rolls of BXT
6 yards of Ensolite
2 cans of glue

Wow, nice job. Lots of work in this thread. I always wondered how much weight would be added if I put in dynamat or similar product. Thanks for the weight info.

Looking good Steve!

Just curious as to why you didn't put this in the Sponsor Projects section?

I thought that was exactly why that forum was created for you guys. I will ask if this can be moved...

Because the members here can't respond or interact with the thread if it's in the project section. I'm planning on moving it there after I finish the build.

You should keep the stock 10 spokes, have them widened in the rear and plish them.

Ive never liked chrome 10 spoked but I think a nice polished finish would be just right.

I was going to polish the face of my stock rims but got lazy and just purchased some 35th Anniversary machined face 10 spokes Should be here in a week or so...

Here's the white face gauges and shift **** installed. I cut the shaft on the shifter 3/4". I'm happy with the way everything turned out!



Gauges before:

Can you post up how you cut the shaft for the shifter? Did you have to measure and make a different cut for the inner shaft that the button pushes on?

^^cut around the metal tube (black) first at whatever mearurement you want (1 inch at the most!), and then measure the exact same length on the white peice once the black peice has been cut and cut it...

I cut where the keyways are for the clip that holds your stock **** on. I cut the same amount off the plastic shaft. Then I extended the groove on the metal shaft 3/4" with a small carbide endmill. You have to be careful not to damage the plastic shaft!
