Moved the cars around so I can pull the dash out of the 37 and get the permanent module installed to eliminate the ABS fault I was getting in the GTO instrument cluster that I installed when building the car a couple of years ago.....
For the new guys here, ....here is a quick story on the 37 build.......after building the car with a complete 2006 GTO LS2 drivetrain....I decided to install the GTO Gauge cluster at the same time........not knowing the complexity of getting it to work.....but after using Daves (I'm Rare) expertise in wiring....we were able to get the cluster to be pretty much fully functional......except for that nagging ABS fault (as the computer was looking for input from the wheel speed sensors).....So....after driving the car for a year I was contacted by a member of the LS1Tech site and after following the build on that site and thinking about it......he thought he had it figured out......now....remember....we had the ECM.....BCM......and the PIM...(Computer guy talk) installed , but we were only using parts of the modules that were required to get the cluster to receive the information it needed......so....I didn't have much faith in a guy in California being able to sort thru my pieced together system and getting the fault to go away......
So.....I recieved a module that Eric made that plugged into the OBD plug......Bingo.....Fault gone......I was happy that it was gone and now the cluster was fully functional with the DIC switch just as a stock GTO........even the Oil change reminder still works....everything.....But .....Eric didn't like the plug in the OBD port....so.....he made up a small circuit board and plug assy that will be hard wired into the PIM .......now, if I have a problem on the road I can pull into any GM dealer and using the ODB port they can plug in and get any codes that would be in the system as a stock GTO.......
So,.....while the dash is out, I am going to paint the steering column and add a LeCarra 40's style steering wheel for more of a Retro look......
Here are some pic's of the car outside....
And if you get bored.....Here's a link to the original build

These things are never finished......
Merry Christmas to all!!!
