Will finish it up this weekend...
Look forward to seeing the finish product when you are done.

What am I doing these days? Drooling over everyone's VETTE, because mine is gone.

You've done a lot of good work Wayne.

I feel guilty. Everyone on the forum has helped you except me.

So I researched the instructions to take out the gauge bezel and also with the help of Nouman (FactoryRaceCar) I changed out the gauge bezel with one that has highly polished rims. Many thanks to Nouman for helping me on the phone with this mod....

Here's the pic's...

Here it is already out of the car....





After it was out of the car I move inside to a little warmer place to do the switch. In the dinning room at the table great work area but need more light....

The lights on the ends of the bezel had me stumped on how they came out. But after looking at them it was easy....



New bezel installed...



After I re-installed it had to take a pic of it. Looks great.... Thanks Josh...



This also came today via FedEx... My new Console Bezel from C5 Kidd..



Also yesterday I received this, the backup camera that will be mounted in the third brake light... It's small..... Color camera, wide angle mirror image.... Many thanks to Z06-Jim for recommending it to me....





Looks like I may be at the end of the tunnel with this mod. Hopefully my next update will be the finale of the new stereo....
