I had those ground effects on my bird until I converted to a TA sideskirts. I know what you are getting at. I always thought the fbody benefited from having a bit more ...body on the rocker panel rather than that gentle roll back underneath the car. Id be curious to see how that pans out on the camaro body. did you get the section that goes on the door as well or just the rocker extension?
Here is that firebird ground effect. Hard to see in the pic, but you can tell the fender in the front don't work with it. I couldn't make it stay against the fender in the front without the back coming loose unless someone was holding it since it is just sitting on there and the fender was not fastened on, but if you look at the corner front top of the ground effect you should be able to see what I'm talking about. also you can see the red camaro ground effect on the floor on the right. you might can see how it is rounded.
Finally getting some work done on this thing again. I have my engine in and I am working on wiring it up temporary until I figure out where I want all the wires at. I just need to get it started right now first.
Also I am working on designing my own gauges from scratch. I plan on using a bunch of OLED screens driven by a micro-controller that I am programming. I was able to build a micro-controller on a breadboard and drive the single OLED display. Next plan is to learn how to drive multiple screens with the one chip.

Go to ebay and search Arduino starter kit and get one that is at least $50+ so you get lots of stuff to start.
Most car sensors are 5v reference so it can work with most all sensors on the car and you can add what ever you want.
With the battery mounted under the battery cover. Do you still have to use a cutoff switch to be nhra
The cutoff switch is to cut all power to the vehicle in case of a crash, so fire hazard is minimized ASAP. It needs to be in an obvious place and clearly marked so anybody that tries to find it, can.
Brandon, awesome work man! Can't wait to see it finished!
Well I ended up stripping this car to the bare frame end I used all the parts to build another car. I moved a few times in the process and now I'm finally getting back to this project again. Here are some videos
