Dashboards

[chevymalibu283]

Hey guys,
I was hoping some of you could share some ideas on how you modified your stock dash to accept/mount a custom gauge panel and closed off the a/c vent in the center of the dash, materials used, and how you finished your dash. Thanks fellas!
post pics if you have them, comment

For my Monte I bought a spare dash piece and then made removeable aluminum inserts to mount the gauges in and used stainless buttonhead screws mounted to Nutserts in the dash to hold them in place.
For my ac vents I filled them with a textured plastic and mounted Painless toggles in two of them and two 12 volt accessory ports in the last vent.

I really like how you did that dash! What cluster did you use. Might sound dumb but having hard time finding some a decent price. lol

I swapped a Grand Prix dash in my 87 aerocoupe. Made the gauge panel out of aluminum and then had it hydrodipped. Same with the console panel. Pardon the dust
