rawkstarr7 07-06-2005, 12:01 PM I'm converting my dash into a full aluminum dash , does anyone have any info on how to do this and maybe pics? I have seen a few , but not sure on how they did this or who did this for them , I'm a little nervous about my body guy doing this for me , and I want it to look great, please help! __________________ Bloodline 07-11-2005, 12:59 PM You need to take it to a rod or custom shop where they do fabrication all the time. Beware, it won't be cheap. I had the guages re-done in mine and had them mounted in a custom aluminum face panel - over $2,000.00CDN. Guages alone were $1700.00. The other alternative is to do it yourself if you feel you have the ability - I didn't. txbusa 07-12-2005, 05:47 AM If the 68 Chevelle dash will fit, take a look at what Covan's offers: http://covansclassic.com Complete dashes w/Autometer gauges for $849.00.

Find a shop that has experience with automotive aluminum fabrication and they should know exactly what you need. Even an experienced bodyman without particular experience in aluminum fabrication would concern me. txbusa 07-12-2005, 11:12 AM Yeah, I figured he wanted a custom sheet metal dash, but sometimes you have to look at all your options. John 8) rawkstarr7 07-13-2005, 03:02 AM hey guys , yeah I looked at the covan , it is nice , but to me its just a different color than the original , and yes I am looking to do a kick ass drag racing style dash , full aluminum , I've posted a link to a guys site , give it a second and let it load , if you go a bit more than half way down you'll see a black 68 or 69 elky that it tubbed and has a dash that's pretty much the direction I'm trying to go , my elky will look very similar to this one , she is in the middle of being tubbed and four linked with coil overs and a ten point roll cage , check out the rides they are pretty sweet and the guys took a lot of pride in their work I've written em a few times and cant seem to get them to respond back but hey its cool the pics were enough to give food for thought! http://hobbystage.net/camaro/camaroracer/ OR TRY THIS! http://hobbystage.net/camaro/media.cgi?site=camaroracer&folder=*&group=4&page=*&id=1093318429-004242 | ||
