custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

here's a few pics of the custom dash panel, radio bezel and shifter plate i made. started out with all new summit gauges, but then they cancelled their speedo and i had to go to an autometer. not too shabby though...

Looks good. Though for some reason reminds me of a 80's arcade machine of some sort.

thanks for the replies. the switches were used for a mallory fuel pump and an electric water pump from summit. the last one will be used for nitrous.

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

man that fuel gauge sure has a long sweep to it, you can prolly watch it move with every hit of the gas pedal. sucks summit doesn't make a speedo, you would think they would be working on that by now...

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

what you use to make it cuz it looks plastic like. I think it would look better as a metal like aluminum or possibly even thin gauge steel.

I agree. The bowtie fits great, very clean, but it would have looked way cleaner without the car's name plastered all over every piece.

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

How do you turn on your heater/defroster? Did you relocate the HVAC unit? or just delete it?

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

cool, your steering wheel looks like mine.

those plates would go good with those camaro, camaro, camaro, camaro, camaro, etc... seats. if you know what I mean.

seriously though, are they aluminum or plastic? you actually did a really good job, it's not easy to fab something like that up (at least not for me).

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

Geez its been awhile since Ive seen this thread lol. I did use aluminum for the plates. I program and run CNC, so it wasnt hard for me to design and program. Currently, I have it all torn apart and am getting everything powdercoated to match the rest of my custom interior. Ive also made a few more pieces to go with it.

Re: custom camaro dash, radio bezel, shifter plate

4 years is a while id say. on that note, i like it aside from the radio. looks kinda out of place with all the shiney metal then, BAM, black plastic. have you thought about integrating a HUmount in the dash to clean it up?
