Bmw E9X 2009 dash in 69 Camaro........

[Damn True]

Very cool. Looks like it was born there. Looking forward to seeing how you tie in the rest of the interior.

[Norwaycamaro]

This is truly awesome. I would love to get a set of our seats in this car. If you are interested lmk and ill make you a deal

I have been thinking of getting a pair of seats from 98-02 Firebird, but i`m all ears for any other good suggestions!:-)

[Norwaycamaro]

That's a very cool swap!

How is the view out of the windshield? Does the hump in the dash cause any view problems?

I will have to mount the seats slightly higher than i first expected, but should not be a big problem.

[Norwaycamaro]

Looks cool.
I think speedhut makes 4 inch multi-thing gauges.

Thanks a lot for the tip! This is just what i`ve been looking for!!:-)

Check out our site and see if there are any vintage recaros that catch your eye. Shipping might get a little tricky but worst case scenario i could source a set of seats semi-local to you and ship you new covers/inserts. Love this build

Thanks! I will get back to you on that when i decide what do do:-)

Great job Frank! I really like it. What are you going to use for the gauge cluster?

As of today i`m leaning towards speedhuts like these

[l_and_t_reproductions]

Those guages would look very nice. What is the $$$, if you don't mind?

[Norwaycamaro]

Well total price for that one plus a similar style speedo- set up like the one above totals 559usd + shipping. Thats about 200-250 bucks less than autometer nexus or similar VHX`s actually:-)

Did you look into these 3 in 1 gauges; http://www.newvintageusa.com/1969.html ?
They are about $200 less than the VHX and they are also able to customize them (at extra cost off course). http://stores.newvintageusa-store.co...OUT/Detail.bok

Believe they are also a sponsor here.

[Norwaycamaro]

Yup actually was checking them out just a few minutes ago!:-) They`re nice too, but i think that with this dash i need to do it somewhat more"eurostyle" rather than old school look that the newvintage gauges.
Extremely difficult to decide actually:-)

[Norwaycamaro]

I wish i had the skill to incorporate the original gauges from the donor. I think they look pretty nice too:-)

[Norwaycamaro]

In the last pic you can see the raw bracket for the dash on the right side. It will be straightened up and fully welded while the cowl is opened up. Also some minor brackets will be fabbed to support plastic panels under the dash pus some other small stuff. I just wish the rust was long gone, so i could consentrate fully on the fun stuff instead:-)

I think the BMW gauges would look killer in there. There HAS to be someone who can help you get them working right in your car.

[Norwaycamaro]

I totally agree, but do think that it will be way more job and a "thousand times" more complicated than opting for a universal solution. But would have been something else for sure with the stock ones though...

[acegto]

Where did you pick up a dash that clean? Surely not a scrapyard?

[Norwaycamaro]

Yup! I have a scrapyard over here, and was able to buy this donor car from the insurance companies really cheap:-

Just for curiosity, what is the width of the dash? I wonder how it would fit in an A-body. Im sure with some electrical diagrams and creativity you can get that dash working. But your probably right a universal would be easier.

I second that question. My 72 Lemans is begging for a new dash!

[Nemesis RR]

Very brave project. Looks great. I would really keep the Euro look. As far as the seats how about some BMW seats to continue the look. M3 seats would be perfect.
