A few Interior pics of my 68' camaro with single din radio and 2013 Camaro console
Here are a few quick pics of my 68' Camaro that I am just finishing up with a LS/T56 swap and had the interior redone (traded out work)
I used the factory 68 Camaro center dash panel with a aftermarket Metra single DIN mount molded it in and had a Local company here (Sin City Hydrographics) dip it in black carbon fiber, then used both 220grit sandpaper and scotchbrite pad to give the perimeter the "brushed" aluminum look to match the Twist Machine shifter handle for the T56
The center console is from a 2013 Camaro, but I took my old Autometer 4 gauge pod from the stock 68-9 center console and fab'd & molded it into the Gen 5 Camaro 6spd shifter bezel (had a tray with no gauges) filled in where the factory traction control switch went and drilled two holes for my heated seat switches
Then had the crew @ Sin City hydrodip them
The seats were recovered in black leather and suede by Jose @ ABC Discount Upholstery here in Vegas, he also did the console "pouche" where the factory e-brake would be

They are a brand called Hunsaker w/ Corbeau brackets, but they were purchased new from another member, who's project cancelled and I had them recovered the way that you see them
Thanks, Jeff

A little trimming to meet the dash the way I wanted, trim around the Vintage Air box on passenger side, then alot of molding on the shifter bezel, make mounts for it
I also wired in the USB and 12v ports that are inside the console, for Ipod or phone
it covers the Gen # "411" pcm great! (it is mounted on the trans tunnel under the 4 gauge pod, using a factory GM pcm holder bracket (slightly modified)

Yes, but it's quite the compliment when it looks like it "just went right in." That means you did a very clean install. Originally Posted by jwcarguy

That looks really amazing! I had those seats in my Mustang too, super comfy but they were too wide.

Jeff, it was good meeting you yesterday. The car looks great and the console is a great idea. Looks like that will be my first project when I get mine out here.

Love it. One of the cleanest I have seen. Everything really blends in well. I'm also interested in knowing what Metra adapter you used. Hopefully you don't mind sharing.

Sorry for the delayed reply!
Just busy lately
I used a Metra Volvo multi kit part # 99-9222, it was real close to the correct angle, but still had to be "secured" to the original center dash panel, then fiber-glassed / blended in
I bought it off Amazon for $11.99

The console looks great. I had thought about doing the same thing and I'm glad you took the liberty of providing a very good example.
