Take a look and see what you think about my mix breed 71 ss454 clone dash forward & the body used was a 68, Keeping the 68 look inside.. other then the custom bensh seat i made using 2, The rear maker lights was removed & filled then adding 69 chevelle marker lights just below the stock spot..
In the 3rd generation page 13 under H.R.396

Looks great, good workmanship. One suggestion: what about a SS instrument panel?

Well it looks if i been had...I should of said from the fenders forward! how that? :) with a stock 71 dash.

Thanks.

Very nice! I especially like the way you did the battery. With the battery cut-off, looks like the car's seen the track?? What are your times?

Also, what part of OK are you in? (I'm a native Okie, but living in Mexico, oops, I mean Texas, now)

Do you recall what model number the Hooker's are?

This is the first car I've seen have some of the plans I have for my 72 i'm restoring. Like the exhaust, the battery, and the gauges. And the car looks great too. :thumbsup:

I don't remember on the headers! it's been 5 years! I buying tons of parts at the time so i would have them on hand.. my buddy has a coating shop so they got coated free. One thing about them i do remember is i had to use a scoket to make a dint in 1 of the tubes because of the Aframe bolt was right up against it..A scocket makes a nice & clean dint.

sad thing is! i'm fixing to sell it. I need the cash to build my 67ss396 i've be working on it for 5 years plus i have a 70ss396 right behind it..but the 67 is my baby she's been around for 2 many years..

Hey Gsir8

One thing i learned about dumping your exhaust they suck WHY it blows dust all over every thing and every body...if you do any shows where your on the grass it will cover the guy next to you :evil: NOT a good plan..But they sure sound good :) & Summits mufflers are cheap.

On the guages if you cut out where the radio was leave a 1/4 around the edge this way you can mount a steel plate.. also i sprayed the plate with wrinkle finish, nice & clean look.
