started on my project today (teardown) been wanting to do a custom dash and am looking for ideas yor thoughts and opinions are welcomed

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.

charx2 · 06-16-2010, 10:21 PM

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.

my custom dash 59 impala

chevy_mike · 06-17-2010, 12:08 AM

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.

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.

gopokes · 06-17-2010, 06:07 PM

I'm not sure whose this is but I have had this pic saved forever. I love what they did. Might be someone on here?

THOSE OLD IMPALA DASHES HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DASHES EVER MADE. I LOVE THE LOOKS OF THEM. IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ONE, OR A LINE ON ONE I'D SURE PAY GOOD MONEY OR SWAP SOME NEAT SH!T FOR ONE.
