i have mine in the car. i have to run a couple ground wires and i am done for now. i plan to get the GM switches down the road though,look cleaner. i am doing all this along with my 5 spd conversion,so it has taken forever! i hope to have the car running tomorrow actually!

depends. are you talking about mine,or superscamps? he kind of took over the thread.

i just replaced mine with a repop a couple months ago. really easy once you find the nuts,i think five,plus the two in the corners. they will bite you in the *** if you forget about them! mine were covered up with glue or something so you may have to dig them out.

i have been slowly but surely geting some wiring done,and i finally got her mounted tonight. i have to take it back out and finish the wiring,but the pics give you a good idea of the wrinkle powder coat and the other coated parts to match. ignore the foot gas pedal! a buddy gave it to me for...

uh. if you go to the first of the thread you will see pics of my gauge cluster that was wrinkle powder coated 3 yrs before the other parts. the radio is factory and the heater delete panel i made which bolts on like the factory heater control panel face.

i had a really shitty day trying to get things done on my column,so i turned to the dash. i got the glovebox in,the heater control delete panel i made,and the radio. what do you guys think of the black on blue? of course the gauge panel is black also so it will be balanced out.

nice!

that looks great! just a different look. it just doesn't have that racey look as much,has more of a classy look. looks like you used the same wrinkle powder coat that i did. did you just tap into the factory wiring for the gauges?

But im not paying 30 plus thousand for a car that does 11-12s like the corvette or new mustang or a dash that cost 500 plus when I can build one for way less than that. If I had the time and tools, I would build them and sell them for less, but i dont. I do however have the time to build the car...

well said will! my thoughts exactly. alot of of us have other hobbies or multiple cars that spread us thin. i have been fortunate that i have retained my good job through the last couple tough years and i have the ability and accesibility to some nice equipment to make some cool stuff. i get so...

how do you like your 5 spd.?

AMEN BROTHER!! i'm with you joe! i didn't pay $500 for mine anyway. i really don't think that a man could make it for $350 with the materials and his time factored in. i guess it depends if you are worth $8 an hour or $23.

have you ever priced good sheet aluminum? have you ever priced a good fab guy by the hour? i agree they were high,but they are a nice piece and worth the cash or i would not have bought it. i sure he had fixtures and such to do it,but it is still time consuming. i have a *** load of hours...

semi-gloss black wrinckle powder coat to match the gauge insert.

well i FINALLY got another piece done for my dash tonight. final fit before i tap the mounting holes and send her to powder coat! it is billit aluminum,i have some serious time in this thing. i don't do the auto-cad thing,i just old-school-use-your-brain-method. this piece will be black like the...

like crackedback said,it was a no brainer to me as well. BE/A was back ordered two months! dante's said call back in two weeks,who knows how long they had to wait. for an oversize package from canada for $35 i don't think that is too bad.

$35 to tennessee,i didn't think that was too bad. thanks!

i got a new dash pad from PG classics in this week,so i thought i would throw it in today. what you guys think of the black on blue? something a little different. it bolted in like a breeze,i tend to worry about repo stuff.

i need the plastic piece that goes on the glovebox around the latch. i need a black one. anybody know where to get one of these reproduction?

well,i got my dash tore apart today. still have a few little things to do. i think i am going to powder coat the glovebox door to match the gauge insert. i am going to make a billit aluminum piece to fill in where the heater controls go and do it the same way. what you guys think? a little blue...

i found some good info on moparts. not hard,but what a P.I.T.A.!!

i didn't see anything usefull about what i need to do.

how do you get the latch off the glovebox door?

i am not going to run a radio either way,i may just make a cover plate for it. you don't happen to know how to get the latch off the glovebox door do you?

i just had to go out and take it off since it was that easy! thanks!

good god! that makes sense! i didn't think to look there. i took the glove box out and the am radio. i wonder if there is a way to strip the radio to just a shell for looks? thanks dixiedart!

how the hell do you get the heater controls out of the dash?! i have it all loose,but the temp slider control button is holding things up. how do you get that bugger off? i hate to break something since i might sell it all.

i ordered a new one from PG last night. i guess we'll see how how it does!

nice cuda! i'm not real worried about the grain looking original. i am not a "originality" type guy.

wow! that does look nice!
