Custom Built Dash and Trunk
Thursday, August 31, 2006 5:21 PM

Here is a pic with the screen up. The switch panel is upholstered in tweed matching the seats. Varad Blue LED's light up most of the interior. The dash was built molding pieces of the stock dash together to retain the Cavalier "feel." This time there are far fewer flaws, though I still have a couple minor ones to work out.



This is the screen down with all the switching revealed. The triangle on the right houses the switches individually controlling my amps. Behind the screen controls motorized trunk lid, interior and exterior neon, plus the fans for the amps.



The colors of the trunk were also changed to match the rest of the interior.

Now if I could just get someone to redo my sig.........

Looks good. Maybe try to get the wavyness out off the the passenger side where the triangle meets the vent.

I like what you did with the steering wheel...Something about it I just love.

Looks good man. I think I may be re-doing my dash aswell.

I also like how you kept the Cavalier feel to it too

I like it, its deffinitly different.....but the steering wheel makes me laugh lol......that ruins it.

The steering wheel does look pretty funny, I have to admit. If you wrap it with leather or some other substance (vinyl maybe) then it would look good, but right now it looks exactly like what it is: a cut off wheel.

Reminds me of an old arcade racing game, can you tilt it forwards and back to do the ramps?

The steering wheel is having some work done, you guys don't miss a thing.

Yes everything in the car is functional; HVAC, Speedometer, Dummy lights, everything you see functions.

***The old dash is for sale if anyone wants to come to western Pa and pick it up. $40 for all the pieces, The glassed parts need repainted, pick up only.***
