Thread: Pro Street Dash Kits

We are going to put an aluminum interior in my one Son's '84 Capri. That is what most drag cars use, and I thought that is what you meant until I read that you wanted something polished. Trouble with any dash that is polished is it will blind you in the sun. Some guys used to put polished stainless dashes in rods.......looked real cool until the sun or headlights from behind hit it.

As mentioned above, Jegs and others make a several part aluminum dash, but you need some steel subframe under it to support the steering column and to give strength to the cowl area.

Maybe race inspired interiors mean different things to different generations. You mention carbon fiber, and that is too high tech for me to know anything about.

Then I guess your best bet is the Jegs aluminum kit.

By the way is this what you dash looks like?



This is out of a 66 Malibu

Yes that is what mine looks like, except it is blue and beaten up. I replaced the on the column shifter with a b&m on the floor but the steering column looks funny now because the hole for the old shifter is still there. Mine is much less flattering because it is in worse shape and all the inserts are warped and the black on that one looks much better then the blue mine is painted.

I'm sure you could buy new parts for your dash and they made or make a floor shift colar for the column

Yeah I'm sure I could get replacement parts for the dash very easily but I like the custom look better so I would rather put the money towards that.
