      77 corvette pro touring

      Figured I'd post a little update. Been working on this one for the last year (and have not been working on my 82 :( ) but it's almost done now.

      It's completely new/redone from the ground up with some nice tids and bits here and there. I posted some pics of it in my 82 thread and in the slammed ried but here's how it stands now.

      All that needs to be done is finish the headlamps (I have xenon hella projectors for hi and lo beam) and install a new oil cooler (mocal junk, leaked like a sieve out of the box and warrently? they never heard about that, company I bought it from said I must have messed it up with a crappy install...suuure, the install was crappy)

      Here's the almost finished custom interior with all autometer gauges, custom made warning lights (end lenses), hi intensity leds for low oil and hi water pressure warning (next to gauges). In the later pics the center air vents are gone, I mounted a lokar shift indicator there.
      The bezel around the shifter is also from lokar but it's their parking brake bezel. Their indicator shift boot is too large for the narrow console. The console faces are aluminium that I cut to size and then sprayed with wrinkle/texture paint for a neat look. Turned out pretty well IMO. The window switches are modern backlit ones. All wiring is new and custom made for the car.

      The speedo and tach have double green leds above them for indicators, the speedo has blue ones for hi beam below and the tach has orange ones below for lo beam indicators.









      There are 3 brake warning switches, one for parking brake, one for low fluid level (C5 MC has optional low level switch) and one for brake bias/pressure problems.

      The C5 master is bolt in, just needed some custom lines (M12x1,5 & M12x1 hookups)



      Here's how the lokar stuff mounts to the tranny:





      Some new seats for good measure, need to dye them. Right now they match the color of the f body rear seat belts that I used to replace the rusted stockers.
