The dash looks great. I am planning on doing the same with my dash, but in red of course. To match my Prosport Amber/Whites.
The only thing that bothers me is the dark spot that always seems to happen at the gas gauge.

i got hungy :evil2:theKnifeArtist;1099374 said:
The ffim was always a dream for me, and so was a tubular-mani and single, but really the sc61 is not all too big. I had the money, so thats less to worry about later, i had always wanted to go that route, and had plans to, they just came up a little earlier than expected. I am shooting for high 11's, but i'll take a low 12 too :naughty:
well here it goes....
i need to have the intake mani, lower runner and tb powdercoated(will be done next week!), they look like ass, the paint is all chipped up and faded and they are two different colors, chipped shitty red, and chipped shitty black, I know you ask “why? but your mani and tb look good in those pics!” yeah it did, BUT I had damn near 900 dollars in that setup with the ic and stuff, and the piping still needed to be fabed up, I have zero welding skills, and no one I know has a portable aluminum welder for a decent price so that meant I would have to trailer the car a minimum of 30 miles to have it fabbed up and welded, and pay for that too. So i tapped out, sold the setup, got a bolt on fmic(very nice btw), along with a stock manifold and some other things I needed. So there’s that, I have the downpipe als and my wideband bung needs to be welded on, but I have a friend who will do that, I need to bleed the clutch, brakes, put on the starter(if its worth anything anymore it was kind of sometimey before all this) and run the rest of the harness, and then fill the rear end and trans with 6qts of royal purple 75w90 and lsd additive, (4 for the trans, 2 for the lsd) which I still have to buy btw ugh(77.41) and then put the tune on it and she should be going after working out all the bugs and stuff…
