Chevy modification list - advice please
G'day,
I have a few finishing touches to make to my Chev and I am looking for advice. So here is the list of what I want to install and my thoughts so far. Please leave any comments, tips or experiences you have... I wish to place an order early next week so I can have it finished for August. 1. Dash mounted cruise control 2. Install Air Con: she came standard with air con. I looked at a Vintage Air unit but with the changing over to right hand drive I don't think I have room under the bonnet. I may have to go a custom made job here. I would like to use all of the factory vents and controls. 3. Custom made centre console: the console will house all of the switches (fuel tank, turbot timer etc), a two way (CB radio I think you call it in the US), storage for my lap top and bits and bobs and finally a screen (see point 4.) 4. Entertainment system: I am considering a Pioneer AVIC unit with hands free phone, reversing camera, gps, and ipod connection. 5. Electric windows 6. Keyless Entry 7. Dual Battery system: With the 6.5L diesel in under the bonnet, I had to choose between the turbot, brakes or power steering. Now to fit a battery in their which fits in the small space but has enough CCA to turn her over is proving next to impossible. I would like to run a dual system - maybe tuck it back under the tray. 8. I have been looking at the billet dash through Brothers... any complaints out there... they look great. 9. Carpet - is there anything to be aware of and can I get sound proofing moulded to fit? 10. Speakers - in a small cab what is the best speaker set up to get optimal sound quality? 11. Intermittent wipers: being 5 foot nothing I have to climb off the seat to reach the wipers and in wet weather it can be dangerous. Surely it can't be too hard to put in a new motor or such? Then I am just finding bucket seats and some personal touches. Thanx in advance for your feedback lads. |
