Did some mods in the Camaro head page regarding pics and uppdated the info part a little!!

Got my new green LED bulbs the other day and I could not wait so….! Yesterday evening I mounted them in my Autometer centre consolle and in the shift indicator plate as well.
I think they look great together with the original bulbs in the tacho/ and speedometers. The illuminator also works with the LED bulbs!

This is how the LED bulbs look beside the original ones:

…and this is how the glove in the dark. The Autometer-clock in the upper right corner always had a bad illumination and I think its because the clock work is in the way of the bulb!?

Here you can get a glimse of the tachometer light together with the new LED light!

Now the Hugger rests under its winter blachet from California Covers untill the rest of the stuff arrives from the US!

I´ve spent some time in the garage now and then and actually got a couple of things done!

This is what my doome light looked like when I got the car from US

…a after a call to my Swedish supplier, Herman at Retro Parts, I got this:

The new gauges are now mounted and working! I haven´t checked the functionality of the tachometer yet but it does move when I run the starter at least!? For the first time since I got the Hugger it know have a working fuel gauge – nice!!

New dash pad in place:

I also got an idea of movin the modern stereo to a moore discret place in the glove box. Nothin to bee proud of but it works! 

..here is the next step in the inside project, redo the Autometer gauge package regarding lights and cables. I´m going to test LED-bulbs here!

The front end spoilern is back on again!

…still waiting for some hot stuff from US and A ……over and out!

…had some time over in the garage after spending the weekend with very late nights with friends!

The hood insulation and under hood lamp are mounted!

It was some work with the plastic clips but now they´re in place….for the moment!?

After a couple of minutes searching for a template on the Internet I found what I was serching for at The Team Camaro site, spank you all!
It worked just great after I adjusted the scale in the Xerox machine.

Bought a Dremel copy to the rest of the work.

Just doing a mock up:

i think this is going to be great when finished AND working! I have alse ordered a radio delete hatch for the stereo hole. I´m puttin the stereo in the glove box.

…….has now started to work on that panel to change some gauges. A lot easier to work when the seats are out!

Just removed the dash pad and pillar modlings:

Comfie!

Think this small fuel gauge will be great! The factiry tach will replace the old broken fuel gauge.

…due to a very late container shipment from US I had to leave this years work to 2010!

The 2010 list:

[-] Mount the small fuel gauge between the speed- and old fuel gauge.

[-] Mount a new tachometer instead of the broken old fuel gauge.

[-] Mount new dash pad.

[-] Mount the Deluxe enblems on the door panels .

[-] Mount a new horn button more similar to the original ones.

[-] Check the door window adjustments.

[-] Mount a under hood lamp.

[-] Mount a cowl hood insulation

[-] Mount new upholstery on the inner pillar posts.

[-] Mount a new “cowl hood” air filter kit.

[X] Gettin rid of my electrical probs with blown fuses!

One of thoose nice bright summer evenings and The Hugger on the run:

The Big car event in my hometown is Wheels Nat´s Norr

Another local car event was Umea Street Car festival. I had never been to this event before and we got home with Best American Car and Peoples Choice!!

This is a small car meeting in a village outside Umea that grown over the years. Nice weather, huh?

The summer turned atumn and we did some camera testings.
