    Cheap sound deadener / heat insulation???

    I have seen posts where people found cheap Dynamat like stuff at Menards and such, but I couldn't find them in the search function. I used Dynamat in my car, but my buddy builds Fiero's with 3.8 supercharged motors and the heat is unbelievable. He wants to find some cheap stuff to try and see if...

    Looking for a new headliner

    I was browsing around this summer and found a headliner for my car for about $125 - $135 which I thought was a good price. I didn't order it because I figured to wait for the fall and make it a winter project. Stupid me, I don't remember where it was. I thought it was Dante's, but it's not. I...

    Blacked out my dash - looks good

    When I bought the car, the PO had primed the dash frame and only painted the bottom third. He also painted the center panel wood grain black, but not the glove box wood grain. I got tired of seeing primer and the mismatched dash. I took it all apart and painted it black, then painted the panels...

    Dash cluster installed finally

    It was a bit of a pain. I found the fuel sender wire from my wiring diagram and tapped it off the old cluster plug. The one that was supposed to be the wire for the oil sender apparently isn't since after initially looking good, the gauge pegged at max. I need to install the turn signal and high...

    Custom instrument cluster - what a PIA!

    So I bought the cluster from Fastlanewest. I have to say, the plastic is so thin and floppy, I am not impressed. It says some cars need to use aftermarket headlight and wiper switches. There is no possible way to use a stock headlight switch. And the mounting surface is very thin, un reinforced...

    Broke down and ordered custom dash and rear package tray

    @%#$@&*%$! We were working on an 87 Monte Carlo SS at work this week and he had a sweet custom dash. Then we ended up designing and making a custom gauge package tray for a 69 Camaro. (which I am going to have to race. It could go either way, this car is almost a GM clone of my Mopar motor set...

    Very quiet now - doors and floor Dynamat'd

    I needed to change the lock cylinder in my passenger door. While I had the panel off I decided to Dynamat the doors at the same time. I had just done the floor a few days ago. What a huge difference the doors made. I can talk at a normal tone of voice while driving now. I don't think I am going...

    Dynamat

    Well, I finally got sick of not having the carpet in my car. I took the front piece out when I put in the floor shifter and didn't put it back in because I was going to Dynamat the floor. Today was that day. It took longer than I expected, but all the seats and seat belts had to come out. It was...

    The PO should never touch a drill again!

    I took the seats and carpet out of the Dart for a couple reasons. One, I had to run power, ground, speaker and amp turn on wires to the rear and I wanted to hide everything so it couldn't be seen. Also, we are almost ready to install the floor shifter and I need to cut a hole. Once everything...

    New dash pad and speakers

    I spent a lot of time on the Dart today but didn't get as much done as I had hoped. I put in the driver's door lock cylinder which looked like it was going to be a real *****, but was pretty easy. Nothing was very accessible but I have a magnet on a flexible semi hard wire that made it a piece...

    Sick of these seatbelts - need retractables

    I have the seat belts that are a lap belt separate from the shoulder harness. The shoulder harness clips onto the lap belt latch. They are uncomfortable and not adjustable and I have had it with the damn things. Does anyone make retractable conversions for these cars? 73 Dart Sport.

    New dash pad arrived!

    I took everyone's advice and called BE&A for my dash pad. After three messages and no return call I was getting pissed. Finally I called and got a real person. He took the order and it was at my house in two days. Depending on how well the cam install goes tomorrow I might take Monday and...

    New dash pad - who has good ones?

    Who has the best or most OE looking dash pads? I find them online, but it is so hard to know. Anyone had any good luck with a particular supplier?

    Best new dash pad?

    My dash pad is in ugly shape. I want to replace it and am not afraid to spend the money on a new pad rather than an overlay. I found a place that has a complete oe reman dash pad for $275. Is this a good price? Does anyone have any suggestions or have anyone they have used and might recommend? I...
