Really nice clean setup. Would like to know what mounts you used on the frame, look different from what we used. What water pump is that?

Driver side is 66 Chevelle small block the passenger side I had to make to allow room for the AC compressor. I started with both side being the chevelle, so the one I made didn't move the engine.

Waterpump is off 2010 Camaro L99, It uses the truck spacing, couple of reason for this, VVT engine, AC compressor fitment, I had to space PS/ALT bracket off the head 1.5 inches

So the water pump came in with the spacers, new driveshaft, axle bearings and Mast pan will hopefully be here this week. Kevin has been working hard on cleaning and retrofitting the digital dash into the original housing. Keep up the good work Kevin.

I'd love to see more on the gauge cluster. I've got a 65 I'm swapping and have an extra 67 dash I can modify.

Dash template





Dash backing plate





Backing plate rough mock up





Instrument panel mocked to backing plate

Complete dash mocked up. Looks really good but I have an idea that may be a slight improvement.

Here it is, the dash instrument panel. I really am impressed with the way it turned out, Kevin did an excellent job.

Tomorrow the axles and rear brakes back on and brakes finished up. I am going to attempt getting the pan on to check fit and hopefully button up the front end of the motor. Then back to finishing up the wiring and hopefully get it fired and driving by the weekend.

gauges look nice - I am using the same setup in my 67 Chevelle but in blue. Can't wait to see the progress.

They are a great deal now. I paid $380.00 back in 2012. Mine is more rectangular than yours. Not sure if both are available. They sent me the one like yours first and requested one as in the pictures and they replaced it. Lifetime warranty and made in the USA

Here are a couple pics of mine. Name: IMG_20150728_174745_zpsfb4wsw4z.jpg Views: 1565 Size: 168.8 KB
