Pro Street Dash Kits
I have a convertible 1966 Chevelle Malibu and I’m starting to dress it up and making it semi pro street. I’m not tubing it out or doing anything to radical because I want to be able to continue to drive it regularly. I know just about everything I need to know about the mechanical aspects and have already built the engine but I’m getting now to the area of the interior. I have never worked much with interior and I have few resources for parts. I want to create a real (for lack of a better word) “mean” looking interior like you often see in older hot rods (children of the 70’s) not completely tubbed but simple and definitely race inspired. For the most part I think I can figure out how to do it myself but I’m really interested in finding competition dash kit, I don’t like plain sheet metal so maybe polished aluminum or carbon fiber (not wood) but Id be happy with a polished black look with round gauges that “reach out” of or are deeply inset in the dash. It would be nice if someone sells a bolt in or semi bolt in kit but I would appreciate any information you can give me on the subject.
(I have also been looking for a competition pistol grip shifter but I can only seem to find quarter sticks does anyone make a full length (like in the old challengers) gm compatible pistol grip shiftier)Last edited by TheFroFactor; 10-03-2006 at 05:10 PM.
