What kind of grounds do you have going to the engine? I have a regular ground cable going to the frame and the ground from the battery going to the engine and the frame.
I plan on duplicating that setup when I move it to the front just using longer cables.

I'm using the same 1/0 gauge cable for all. It runs from the front battery to the engine block, and one from the engine block to the frame. I'm thinking about running a short ground from the battery to the front frame also, this might be over kill but it can't hurt..... Right?

No I was thinking of doing the same thing.

What do you guys think about this billet Auto Meter gauge dress up? I think it might look good with my dash set up.

I think the polished set would complement the AC vents and shifter bezel. It also has an old school feel that I like.

the current setup:

I think that would look great, would look good with the chrome around the vents.

Troy, could you post a pic of the gauges lit up at night from the driver seat perspective?

Wow, that's such a unique idea that they came up with there.

I can think of a lot of cars that could be taken to the next level by that simple idea that they came up with.

It would give it a sort of flair like a Bugatti Veyron dash does

Reminds me of this



I like it but then I also like the way it is now so either way you can't go wrong

Man you just gave me some great ideas!!! Over the last couple of months I've been going crazy trying to pick out the layout for the cars interior. Thanks to you I think I just found it. What do you guys think.





Where they have that gold leather I would use orange leather
