Thats sharp! Is that an aftermarket tilt too? Looking good, Jeff.

Is that in the white blazer?

Going to carbon fiber is an effort to shave weight? :lol:

Looks cool.

Nice. Looks like it will be hot with a possible glare with the top off in the summer. I like the billet knobs on the column too.

The column is a stock tilt, and yes I had to go to carbon fiber to save weight as the blazers are heavy!!! The glare I am not worried about I have the full chrome guage cluster and I get no glare from it in the summer.. Thanks for the compliments guys and yes it's in the white blazer..

Good to know about the full chrome bezel. I've always wonderded if it would cause a glare issue. I was going to get one for my '69, but...

what did you use for the dash panel it looks like a marble design ?

Re: New steering wheel... Installed
 
The dash is a chrome bezel with stock guages. I just removeed the paint off the metal piece that is black just behind the lense and painte the inner most portion white. I can get more pics if ya need a better look..
