So many truly awesome G body projects amongst members here, and some pretty incredible talent too. I know a lot of you pay close attention to detail, and thats so important and should get some recognition and applause for! So post up your pics of some of the important details in your project your taking pride in, let us see your talent!
 
I'm proud of my custom fabrication to get rid of the a/c "hump" in the heater box since I couldn't find a heat only box at the time. It's something that makes people that know G bodies scratch their heads. The best part is the two halves can still be separated like normal. Almost looks factory.

I tried to make both of my projects as clean as I could but unfortunately I couldnt do a body off on either one.
The one thing I did thats pretty slick for the wagon I cant even take credit for designing. I copied an idea that 565bbchevy came up with.
This gauge setup came out pretty nice. At first glance it almost looks factory.

Alright, I'll bite. Definitely unique to my car is the carbon fiber touches. FWIW, my dad calls me Mr. Carbon Fiber haha. I've always had an obsession with the look of it, and have incorporated it throughout the car.
The header panel emblem is custom, and the door handles were powdercoated to match the trim, then CF was added....

Obviously all of my dash panels are covered in it, along with my custom gauge cluster that's a nod to the H/O rallypack, and the newly installed console too. The Hurst shifter took some tweaking to make fit right into the console and look factory, I hope I pulled it off....

One thing that was VERY important to me that ties into this thread, was that the orientation of the CF was the same for all the panels. It might seem silly, but if adjoining panels had CF going different directions it wouldn't flow as I feel it should from a design standpoint.

What do you mean "almost"? Awesome work!
