Wow man you do some great work. I watched your video and when he pulled those tubes out when he did I was like OMG WHYYY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT?? lol I could never be in the medical field obviously . What color paint is that orange? I love it!

I agree. I personally prefer the stock Z28 grille.

Why did you choose to go with the older 82-89 circular style gauges? I know they make kits for the 90-92 gauges.

Awesome-X

I kinda like the grill, I think it makes the color of the paint "pop".

As for the gauges those from an earlier style maro, the gauge face looks to have been made by him so that he could fit his circular style gauges in it.

RubberDucky

I can see he made it. I'm asking why he chose those over the 90-92 gauges.

that is a 90-92 style bezel, not an 82-89. he just put circular gauges in it.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

I know that. I am asking why he chose to do that.

mw66nova

iTrader: (13)

aftermarket gauges are proven more reliable and accurate then the factory gauges. when you have a serious engine, you take your gauges much more seriously

Awesome-X

I would say he chose to do because thats what he wanted to do. Everyone has different style preferences.

I'm talking avout the Cyberdyne 90-92 digital gauges. Why did he choose the 82-89 Cyberdyne gauges over the 90-92 gauges.
I think we should let him answer.

Ding ding we have a winner!! Lol I fist picked up the almost new speedo at a garage sale with some new red neon undercar lights for $35 and it was
exactly what i was looking for. I have yet to find a good digtal gauge setup for the 91-92 style gauges so I just decided to do my own. It was either this or autometer phantoms

That doc was great, he even did some poses next to the chest tubes while i was laying on my side (had his face right next to em with the scissors) but the nurse never clicked the button to take the pic.

The color is GM Atomic Orange. I searched for the right orange for a good year and then I saw my buddys dads 57 chevy painted this color and I immedialy fell in love. The original paint scheme was going to be two tone but in that year of searching and photoshopping I grew sick of it

92z28camarokid

Picked the speedo up at a garage sale and just went from there. Got the others off ebay for cheap, couldnt pass it up. Plus something about the round red digital gauges gives it a certain aggressive look to it I believe.

car looks good so far !

Haha my chest tube holes opened up again a few weeks later and u could see down in my side. I probably should have left my bandage on a bit longer but what can I say the girls that came over wanted to see it. lol

Im actaully getting a cross tatooed on my back and the guy doin the tat is the Physicians Assistant to my surgeon and actually did some work on me, its a small world. Im going to have him fade down to wear my scar is so that the scar doesnt get covered up and kinda comes into the cross.

I got God-Family-Country tatooed across my shoulders a few weeks ago and the cross that Im getting on my back is going to have a mural in it that represents GOD FAMILY COUNTRY by having things like the twin towers/ the boots with the rifle, helmet, and dog tags/hands praying or touch of god/guardian angels/probably the initials of my parents and brother. A lot of little things like that. Chicks are diggin the scars and tat lol

I was thinking about doing a diamond plate back on the gauges but i think it would just stand out too much, it doesnt really tie into anything.

Thanks bud, its a big PIA right now, but thats just cause Im working on it in the cold. The interior is getting reupholsterd this summer and that should really set the car off

Headed outside to pull the gauge cluster off! glad I installed it with quick disconnects lol

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Gauge cluster taken out and all gauges taken out of the clust in exactly 30MINS!!(from when i sat down at the comp) lol with about 5-10mins of walking around my house gettin my coat on and off, and throwin a heater in the garage!

92z28camarokid

I have never seen a 90-92 style gauges from cyberdyne. And the only 82-89 camaro specific digitals i have seen from them have been the circuit board with tinted plastic rather then individuial round gauges.

iTrader: (13)

dakota digital has a 90-92 setup. covans classic now has a 90-92 gauge panel to use with round aftermarket gauges too.

Awesome-X

Yeah but the dakota digital setup is what? $700?

mw66nova

iTrader: (13)

and make far superior gauges than cyberdyne.

i've had both, so i'm not just making false statements based on no experience.

get the empty covans panel and put your current gauges in it, it'll look 10x's better then anything you can produce, and an empty panel is only like $130 or something.

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

And thats $130 that I could spend on something else. Ill get another bezel and try a dif route before I spend $130. It takes the fun out of building something yourself. Just like the center console that Im in the works of redesigning. I already made a complete center console out of fiberglass from scratch, didnt like how it turned out so I tossed it and decided to use a dif process. If I end up failing a couple more times on this cluster then maybe after I get my interior reupholsterd and get a headliner I might consider buying one.

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

I have a long ways to go with this car, if the gauges work good and the setup looks clean then Ill put it off. The way the cluster was last time I agree it needed a lot of work, but Im redoin it and Im about finished with it already. Tomorrow if I have time inbetween gettin my new military ID and packing Ill finish it, if not it will have to wait for a couple of weeks because I head back up to school friday around noon

I see. Good deal man.
I could have sworn there were 90-92 digital gauges from them. Either way, I just wanted to know if there was any special reason, but I rad you did it because you wanted to.

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Got the gauge cluster redone and primered. Need another coat of primer and then sand and paint.

I also sanded off all the VHT Nightshade on my taillights, for legal purposes, and now I need to wet sand and buff em.

It maybe awhile before I get to do anything else to the car, I just got back up to St. Joseph last night and the car had to stay home

I picked up these '91-92 style Nordskog Digital gauges from a local guy that wrecked his '91z for $50. I just thought I'd share since there's a lot of talk here about digital gauges.

So, you coming on some rough times? Just found your car on craigslist.

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Yah, unfortunantly I didnt get the job I was wanting so I wont be able to have a car/truck/and motorcycle. And I am needing a truck so I have something for the winter and to haul my bike around with. I've got a lot invested in it and Im hopin that someone will really want it.

If I am able to get this other job then Ill be able to keep it, its just getting really expensive to finish and Im really getting tired of it.

Sell the bike, keep the car.....

Awesome-X

Or he can sell whatever he wants to and keep whatever makes him happier. I'm sure that someone would love to have his car as a project and he can keep his bike.

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Well I decided Ive got waaay to much invested in my car and decided to sell the bike. lol I wasnt able to get the loan for the truck I wanted because the truck was a 97 and the car is a 92 so couldnt use them as collatoral =( Supposed to be having a family friend drop the car off at the house today and my old boss is going to set the timing for me. Anyone know anybody that wants to swap out some Knockoff Flowmaster 10series for some 40s? These 10s are LOUD! and because Im puttin train horns under the car I dont need anymore reason to get in trouble and this exhaust will do it

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Still have some parts for sale. The stock rearend, stock wheels, stock Z28 hood already sold the blisters, rear bumper support, if anyone wants my old front nose piece they can have it, its all cracked but can be used for some customizing

92z28camarokid

iTrader: (4)

Well long story short, I didn't sell either the bike or the car! I did buy myself a 97 dodge ram 2500 Cummins 5spd though. And she's been gettin all my money at the moment. But I'll get the bike back up and running and hopefully get the Camaro from my parents house so I can tear into that again. Now that I have another vehicle I will be turning the Camaro into a drag car, so I've got some work to do.

words of advice, don't get in anymore wrecks lol, i'd hate to see another nice car messed up
