I would like to see pictures of anyone using the 289 Comp dash layout.
Thanks

Bill I haven't installed a comp dash in quite a while but I will see if I can find a pic.

My plan, as it evolves, is to replicate CSX2129 as close as possible. I am currently searching for as much information and as many pictures as I can. The only problem I see is finding those original style valve covers

I have collected 21 images of CSX2129. One is a fairly good shot of the dash.
CSX2129 was the third factory rack and pinion race car. Originally she was finished with both an engine and differential cooler, large barkes, drivers roll bar, pop riveted hood scoop, front brake cooling ducts, front and rear sway bars, Nassau sidepiepes, Kidney bean Halibrands, quick jacks, Konis, dual fuel tanks totaling 38 gallons and a special dash layout with a Sun tach and Stewart Warner fuel pressure and ammeter gauge. The body also has rounded more flaired rear fenders. The leading edge of the hood has been riveted to the hood frame to keep the hood skin from coming loose.
Email me are I will send them back to you.

Bill,
Here's a shot of my competition valve covers. They were hard to find and expensive and also require a special aluminum spacer available from Southern Automotive.
