1979 El Camino Build

I got an idea, now would be a good time to put in some aftermarket gauges and custom make a bezel of some sort. When I see your interior everything is nice but some nice but subtle gauges would help complete the look. Im not saying a 5 inch monster tach on top of the dash but thats where the customization comes in :lol:

i like that idea. some nice auto meter gauges or sumthin. i feel like they would be really hard to hook up tho

Gauges are really not too bad to install. In fact most come with detailed instructions. If you feel comfortable changing your intake or water pump or something as simple as that you can definitely handle hooking up some gauges.

Dude I just did a complete dash swap from a different car and hooked up all of my aftermarket gauges with no directions :lol: Its simple really its just fingering out what goes where and being organized helps also. I was never a fan of any of the stock dashboards that came in Gbodies so I did everything custom.

so the other day i was looking at my turn indicator lenses and looking at the ugly orage lense and i saw that it want part of the light so today i pulled them apart and took out the orange piece. im going to glue it all back together llater. i havent seen anyone do this yet but i think it looks clean and custom.

 

[1979ratrod]

painted the inside black and left the clear lense. i think it looks sick

so i know i am deff getting electric exhaust cutouts soon and i was thinking about where i would mount the switch and i have access to an engraver at work so i was thinking about doing something like this on aluminum. let me know wacha think. the black thing at the bottom is the switch. it sucks cuz its ms paint.
