Re: lets see your custom dash

Mine will be custom. Emphasis on "will be." Here is a pic of the '59 Impala dash that will be going into mine. Not yet installed though.

Dang jewel, when you get that thing installed, please make a topic to show it off, a build thread would also be great!

This isn't mine but it is a finished 59 dash. Pretty well done I might add... there are a couple of threads on here about them too.

Re: lets see your custom dash

I swear, there must not be any '59's left with dashes still intact. Seems like a very popular (well because it is a sweet dash) and show up in all types of vehicles. There could not have been that many made. LOL Likely more '59 dashes on the road in cars/trucks other than '59 Impala's than there are '59 Impala's on the road.

Hahahaha.....guess what Chevy Mike? It must not be any left, huh? I'm also putting one in my '72 Chevelle. It is already mocked up. Here's a pic.

Re: lets see your custom dash

Here is what I have done to my dash so far. Vintage Air A/C controls, billet vents, and a Double DIN in-dash DVD receiver.
