Default Some gauge pics I took!

Here are some pics I took tonight...

Please don't repost/reuse these images on your own webpage without asking me first, especially if it's a commercial/vendor type page, thanks.







An interior shot that didn't come out right:



Here is the effect I was going for (this is from my old Volvo, my tripod fit in the backseat. On my 'vette, the tripod is too tall so I can't get a stable camera platform in the rear. I had to improvise, but sadly my improvisations are not good enough. I'll either have to get a super-short tripod or just give it up!):

Default The guys............

............who lash their cars to a dyno take photos of the instrument panel ususualy with the tach near the 6 and the speedo at 170 and careful not to frame anything outside the car ( like 5 guys in t-shirts watching the dyno run)..............so they can say been there, done that........and it rides like grampas' Cadillac!

I hope you can get a good solid mount on the Vette. I would like to see a good sharp warp speed shot with the Vette's interior.
