Great progress. Can you tell me what harness and gas pedal you are going with? Standard GM? thanks.

Wow, what a nice build. Love the floors and trunk pan. I just got another bead roller. Your work is an inspiration!!
The stance is great too.

I really like that roll cage.

What is the console out of? I played with a G8 console, but it was too wide (with M3 seats). That console you are using looks heaps skinnier.

The console is out of a 2010 Camaro, it seems like it's going to work well

We are using a gm harness and pedal that was purchased with the lsx454. It is their stand alone system.

Thanks for all the positive comments, I can't wait to show some pics of the paint, but we must have patience

Hey ya'll,

Had a big day today. Spent all morning from 7AM to about midnight working on the prep, tape, stripes, base, and four coats of clear. Starting to really shape up.

I like that idea of hanging the fenders off the body for painting.

Here are some more pictures of the recent paint. Pulled the car out of the booth and took the tape off. Starting to look very sharp.

Just wrapped up the hood and cowl today. Extended the stripes from the hood to the cowl took a lot of time and attention to detail, but I think it came out pretty well. Took a couple of quick pictures inside the paint booth, but the fluorescent lights messed with the camera color a little bit. I'll get some better pictures soon.

WOW is all I have to say

WOW is all I have to say

Yeah, I'm a Pontiac perfectionist and I'm impressed!

Great looking GTO Roger, and thanks to all for the compliments, she should start coming together pretty quickly now

Hey ya'll,

Been working on the dash. The goal was to match up the indentations from the console and let them flow up into the dash, as if it was made like that from the factory. Also installing a double DIN audio/navigation system from Alpine. Using the circle-shaped billet vents, so that all the air vents are the same shape throughout the car, as opposed to the ugly rectangle air vent in the center dash. I really think the combination of the console and dash bring the car together. You can see the side ridges from the console flow up into the dash on both sides.







Have some more body work to do to smooth things out. Also plan on installing a Dakota Digital AC control unit under the push-button start. That way everything is symmetric and in place, nice and neat.

Hey ya'll,

Finished up the dash today. Created the cut-out for the Dakota Digital AC unit. It will be vertically mounted below the push-button start.

Took extra time to make sure the Dakota Digital cut-out was of the same style as the push-button start and cigarette lighter. Recessed into the dash and vertical, facing the driver.

Here is the Dakota Digital AC control unit.

Hey ya'll,

Been working hard on the 2010 Camaro console. I had to move the shifter cut-out up about 1.5" and some some custom fiberglass work. Removed the late-model gauge cluster that only worked on the new Camaro and replaced it with two 2-1/16" gauges from NVU; these gauges are in the 1969 Series that also matches the speedometer and tachometer in the dash. It really brings the interior together.

Also have a billet shifter ring from Lokar that fits nicely into the console. Below that is the power window buttons. They're in the retro-style from Nu-relics.

Walking a fine-line between modern and retro requires a lot of customized work, but I think it's really coming out great.

Awesome machine you guys are building, cant wait to see more. Love the idea of using the more modern console, I had seen someone else do the same in another project and Im liking the looks.
