Dakota and Intellitronix are names that keep coming up.
The Camaro that I bought had a digital dash in it. It never worked right, even after I ran the manufacture trouble shooting, so I replaced it with a stock one. Not sure what brand it was.

Agreed, I'd stay stock but run a copper line for the oil gauge.

Gotta roof tar these brackets and mounting bolts.

Put all the insulation stuff in VETTE over sound deadener and firewall.

Then ladies work - grocery shopping.

My hubs does some great round the house projects. Getting this aluminum pergola put back up (but redesigned) to attach up on the roof. Sourced these brackets on the WWW. Still have to install a smaller cross beams on the very top. But looking good.

@MadInNc

Finally figured out what to do with my ACE pump jug.
Didn't cost anything either.
All materials in the shop.

Bear is just a wee bit cranked up today.. I took a hand cart and he took exception to me taking it off the trailer. Drug it off to his lair and about destroyed both tires. I couldn't stop him... Cost of being gone all day yesterday. Sigh...
Anybody know where to get solid wheels cheap?

He's hit me so hard with his ball I'm already sore.
I swear he's a woman they way he holds a grudge

Now to unload and power wash the jacks... Without Bear's help as he attacks hoses like a snake.

Back home as of last week and slowly getting back to normal for me. Did you miss me?....or just my avavtars?

Still really tired but I'm on the rebound.
glad you made it Rob take it easy on your recovery sir.

That fuggin dog has a screw loose.


We’ve been training a rescue shelter pup for the last 2 months. He is part shepherd but he has REALLY come around.

Next week he goes to an “in-house” training facility where he will learn house manners and be in a pack with other dogs. He’s going to be a great pup for someone. Maybe get Bear a playmate? 🫣

I vote for Dakota. They make a retro inspired one for my Trans Am that I'm going to get. I like the mix of classic design and digital.


Good morning all It's going to be 60* today! I'm freaking stoked. Drove the Shelby to work and just hoping to enjoy as much of this Spring weather as I can.

Power washing completed, going need wire wheeled and painted.
Hydraulic lines are junk and wheels are toast or gone.
Other than couple of set screws missing seem to be complete.
I will probably modify the extended sections for my lift specific and most likely just use delrin pads making them sliding instead of wheeled due to costs.
It's Bears nap time then we will take them apart get to cleaning and painting.

Thank Slim~E

Dakota has been recommended a few times. Since so many of my originality parts got changed (without my OK) or were lost/stolen, originality is out the window.

Now want the car dependable and driveable. I plan to drive her A LOT!
