No turning back now! Cut out the lower 2/3 of the original dash and began fitting the stretched Camaro Dash.

Working out pretty well thus far.... more pic's on page 3 of my build thread.

Outstanding, can't wait to see it complete. Sure like how the one turned out in the model A.

Believe me I walked around a bit questioning my sanity before I took the cutoff wheel to the original dash.

Since the original dash had been butchered by the previous owner in the radio area and in the glove box area I only felt a little hackers remorse.

I'd love to know the history of my truck.... the interior had been painted lime green at one point!

Mines in tha garage and I'm watching it snow AGAIN so I will be doing nothing except shoveling snow tomarrow AGAIN....

ruffrida2005 · 01-02-2010, 11:01 PM

I've seen snow like 30 minutes this whole year.

willie 64 · 01-02-2010, 11:11 PM

I know how you feel shovingling snow sucks. it takes away garage time.

ruffrida2005 · 01-03-2010, 01:05 AM

what yall need is a hot air leaf blower.

ravens65 · 01-03-2010, 01:28 PM

Went to the swap meet w/ 2 of my sons and scored big time , left with everything that I was looking for - new 41-48 chevy tail lights w/gaskets (mounting on rear fenders) licence plate light bolts, 4 rolls of wire loom and 3boxes of misc. wire connectors all for 60.00 of course I had to pistol whip some sweet old lady to get the price reduced!!!I posted one picture of the actual negotiation Say hello to my little friend!!!!

scotts62 · 01-03-2010, 01:47 PM

ruffrida2005 · 01-03-2010, 04:24 PM

Told you I wasn't all there , now if I could just get the voices in my head to stop! hahaha no really -thats not even me , that a picture of strodder at our last poker game , with a losing hand! he never could bluff very good!!!

*lakeroadster* · 01-03-2010, 07:26 PM

Another day of welding and grinding.. ref. stretched '67 Camaro dash that's going into my 65 (see signature for link). Spent the day fabricating brackets so the dash will be a true bolt in. Kind of a pain in the rump but this should make wiring and repairs easier in the future.

markeb01 · 01-03-2010, 07:45 PM

Once you finish up on the easy engineering and fabricating of the prototype, you’re just one step away from mass producing the bolt in kit for the rest of us with limited talent!
