some interior updates on my 1978 monte carlo.

[78monte]

Thought I'd share some pics of my interior It's been pretty time consuming hunting down factory black stuff with no fading,gouges,or dryrot But It's been alot of fun and I'm very pleased with how it's turning out.

Here's a couple pics from when I bought the car..

And after.... I still need to do the seats but everything else has been replaced from the carpet to the headliner. Know I just need to give the inside a good cleaning. Thanks for looking

Thanks Tony

For the wiper switch I made a bracket and relocated here's a couple pics. The switch was just moved to the right of the headlight switch.

That looks better than my solution! Do you happen to have pics of the bracket used and how it's attached?

How did you trim out the hole? Looks really good.

I didn't take any pics of the bracket before putting it back together But I'll be getting in thier soon to upgrade my led dash bulbs to some 6 led's per light instead of singles and will take some pics for you. as for the hole I just cut it out with a dremel tool.

I'll post a couple pics of the dash lit up at night too..looks pretty cool with blue bulbs.

Here's the guages at night. I also put a blue led in the heater control switches and have a sony cd player with a full blue light display looks cool at night but the batteries pooped out after taking the pic of the guages I'll get one up of the full dash at night when I get some batteries. But here's this one for now.

That looks great. What kind of gauges did you use or are those aftermarket faces on the factory gauges?

If you could post up pics of that bracket I'd really appreciate it.

The blue lights look good too.

Thanks guys,

Tony I'll get you some pics soon.

jerrycad472 the guages are stock with white face overlays from dixie monte marlo they were 20 something dollars. there are some different ones on ebay but dixie's are much better quality imo.

nice interior.. the white gauges go good with the black interior. i looked at the same ones i'm guessing on dixie monte carlo but i had no idea they would look that good. nice ride
