Is that tweed?

Looks good!

[KoolerSL2]

actually yes it is.
i didnt get anything done this weekend on it since i had the rearend built up.
now its funny.
from a seat of the pants feel it pulls HARD out the hole then eases off then feels slower.
so think since the gear cnahge time to do some carb and timing tuning.
that and i gotta figure out a way to unadjust the rear brakes, they holding so much it a bit difficult to brake torque.

How hard was it to cover your dash? I was thinking about covering mine in something and was wondering. BTW yours looks great.

[KoolerSL2]

no lie it was  PITA!
especially in the middle when the hump comes over the cluster bezel.

After hearing that I may have to go with a new dash pad or let someone cover it. I was also thinking of fiberglassing it and painting it but I was worried about it flexing when I put it back on.

[KoolerSL2]

if your serious do it yourself and save some cash.
if yoiu start at that hump and go out you will be fine.
i forgot and started from the pass end and worked over.

[KoolerSL2]

well an update.
main dash is finished and lower door panels are done.

[JRConnieK10]

Good job. Are the bottom door panels carpet or tweed hard to tell from the pic. And are you doing the top door panels also?

[84chevysilverado]

quick question where did you get those white guages? are they stock with inserts? reall like that look!!!!!

[KoolerSL2]

yes the bottom panels are in black tweed.

the white faces I ordered from some website. I have a extra set of them.
they basically are overlays but do work good.

[KoolerSL2]

well small update.
after tweeding the dash i removed my tach till i found one i liked and could find a good place to mount it.
well ended up getting a small tach and a shift light and mounted them in the cubby hole above the HVAC controls.
pics will be up in the morn along with the new front end.
