Brett, as I watch this video again, I hadn't really paid attention to the gauge cluster, but I'm seriously impressed with it. I have never seen a custom gauge cluster that is both highly functional and looks good. You either see one or the other, but it's very rare to see both. That gauge cluster is a work of art.

Love the car although I don’t care for the color red but love the car man. I just have two questions for you. No.1 where did you get the gauges from and how much did they cost and did you have to pay extra to get the trans am logo and name on them as well what brand of gauges are they? No.2 what style T-Tops are those? Are they the Hurst style or are they the Fisher style? Otherwise I love it man.
@darrellkidd5177

Those are the Hurst tops; you can tell because they have a small "notch" at the rear (and are smaller), while the Fishers are pretty much straight up from the door/window opening.

Ok kids, what he just did is get the engine warm enough to create condensation but not warm enough to burn it off. This method will create pits in your bearings and wear faster due to the water hanging around. Take it for a spin and run for 20 minutes.
