I do plan on redoing the interior but not any time soon. I right now my main priority is to get the car drivable. Then I think the next step will be a nice paint job (all black), then more handling upgrades, and then finally the interior. I will def keep track of all my spending. To answer your question 95 camaro 406, the reason why i didnt hook those to the ignition switch is because I did not want to mess with the original harness since everything was working already. So I decided to create a second circuit to cover whatever I was missing. Here is a pic of the wiring I am creating. I am not showing fuses or gauge of wires yet because i am not quite sure yet. If anyone has any experience with this I would def appreciate your input!

What is the amp load rating on switch #1? It would need to be a pretty heavy duty one to handle the amps of the ignition, starter, lights and fan. Would be better, and safer to have that main circuit on a relay as well.

I guess I am not sure what you mean. The main switch is going through a relay and the output of the relay is going to the ignition and then to my power for my other switches that are also wired with a relay. How would you wire the relay for the main circuit otherwise?

Oh that's my bad. After taking window cleaner to my eyes, I now realize you outlined the switch box. I was seeing that lower horizontal line as a wire connecting all 4 switches together.

Anyone have any suggestions on what radiator to use? I found this one on ebay, but I dont want to buy something ****ty,
, the alternative would be the one from summit which is almost $600 plus i would also have to buy an external tranny cooler with that too which is roughly an extra $70.. Any other options that you guys know of?

Nice! I will be looking into that then. In the mean time I am doing some progress with my gauges and switches. Not exactly very pretty yet, but hopefully the end result will be decent.



The panel doesnt have any screws yet so its pretty crocked ha

keep posting please

the biggest challenge I always have (and I'm serious here) is how to make a customization appear like it belongs. For example, how to trim that triple-guage os it appears like it was put there by the factory.

Now, if I had the materials and tools of some of the TV shows then OK, but I don't. I've bought sheet metal, tried plastic, tried caulk (yes household caulk) to fill in those nicks and dings that I always have when I use a jig saw to cut the sheet metal or plastic for my bezels.
