Default My custom guage overlay!

Thought some of you might like this.

It is a silver background and the lettering and Indian Head will light up red at night. The silver is a perfect match for my UltraLite gauges for the center vents.

I can not post the company, they are not a sponsor.

They do their standard ones with the Bird in there. Plus they have quite a few colors available. I will get pics once it is installed, but it will be a while.

I got the matching HVAC and Dimmer panel as well.

Top speed of 260 too!

Yeah, the Canuck overlays are virtually impossible to find for a Firebird. So I was happy to find a place with them and customizeable as well.

I know some are asking about price, I did have them do custom work, plus I did the art work myself with an older version of Corel Draw and modified an old Pontiac Indian Head logo I found. So what I paid is not realy relative, unless you want custom and do all your own artwork.

I used it on my helmet I had done earlier this summer. It also had the old tin theme.



Most of the things I am putting on the car relate to old school, I have PMD centers on my TTM's, building a 455 motor for it with old 455 emblems to match. The Tin Indian is from a famous late 60's pontiac drag cars. even the car cover I had made was all the old logos. Since I was alive then I remember all the old Muscle and Pony cars being on the street then.
