I bought a 69 from a member here that has a 4th dash that goes with it...all the brackets are fabbed...i have a gap between dash and windsheild how do you plan to fill the gap on yours and make it look good? I am to the point i need to do this before it goes to paint

do you have the dash filler piece that needs about 12" cut off to fit? I've done this swap to two of my cars. it gets a lot of questions asked when at shows.

i made mine from fiberglass but id really like to get the actual dash filler from the camaro and cut it down to fit

[DButler]

No I don't have the filler piece. I will get one. Do you use the original gauges or do you build a bezel and use Autometer?

[RNation0001]

well im kind of up in the air on that one i would like to use the original gauges but more than likely ill go aftermarket.

I love this mod, i did the center console but didnt have the gutts to do the dash but you guys are motivationg me!

[RNation0001]

do it lol

[RNation0001]

its actually pretty simple, remove windshield, cut out dash, hold new dash in plce while u drill holes, bolt to firewall then weld on two brackets in the lower sides to bolt dash to and wala its pretty secure, i may go back and weld another bracket in the center under the dash for a little added stability
