1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon - G-T-faux (stuck with it, and can't shake it... like a bad case of herpes)

Nice choice with the gauges. They're a good match to the dash. Thanks for not using white faced Auto Meter! :lol:

Thanks, I was going for an OEM feel. There are some weird gauge options on the market today... you should see some of the abominations you can "design" with the SpeedHut online tool.

The dash came out great, Mike.
Looks really cool with the new gauges.

Your daughter is a cutie. I could see who the next motorhead in the family is. :lol:
Is that little Hemi engine a runner?

Thanks, I am content with the result; and I hope I am setting the ground work with her for wanting to go fast - oh and the engine turns over with a thumb wheel on the back which I am thinking of attaching an electric motor and noise simulator to. 😉

I'll just leave this here...

Gauge holder for my MTX-L wideband...

Looks like I found a good deal on an 8.5" posi out of a Turbo Buick... more to follow.

Yup. I did.

Finally got the shifter mounted painted (about 2 months ago), all assembled and mounted up, and installed yesterday. Wired up the WB02 too (the loose yellow wire is the lead from the gauge to the HP Tuners interface for datalogging/tuning). I am pretty pleased with the way this project turned out. Our 19 month-old daughter was having a blast slapping the shifter between gears: 1-2-1-2-1-2-1... heh.

The quotes on the S60s are coming in... it is very tempting to go this route.

I also pulled off the majority of the front suspension today for modification, and to start chopping up the K-member/engine cradle to fit the LS motor.

And... from talking to Natasha we may just end up boosting a stockish LS motor vice building a more "rowdy" LS1. Uh-oh.
