covan's classic

I ordered their 82-92 camaro dash panel... it may be slightly overpriced at almost 110bucks... but i think it's a very good investment for someone who isn't sure they want to make their own dash panel. the panel looks sharp, received it in 3 days after i ordered it, very pleased with how everything turned out!

I ordered the panel and wiring harness as well. You are using the
exact gauges that I want to use and it looks great. I only have
one question did you spray your panel with a texture paint, because mine was smooth when I got it?

How difficult was it to wire in the new gauges. Where did you buy them from? I am planning to do what you did sometime in the near future.

my panel came textured. i'm not sure if it's because they started using different materials or what. but i must say it looks very nice textured.

wiring wasn't real hard if you know the baisics... it's just really time consuming. i tied all my ground wires together so i only had to make one connection to the wireing harness in the car, same for the guage lights, and power wire. if you can do baisic wiring you shouldn't have any trouble.

Flyersman29-
That looks real good, but are the bottom 2 gauges hard to see? It seems the turn signal lever and ignition lock would obstruct your view of those 2 gauges. I'd buy one but that's the only thing stopping me from getting one. Thanks...

yeah... i think it might take a little movement of the head to see those 2 guages perfectly, altho i haven't had the seat back in and sat in the car like normal so i'll have to get back to you when i do to see how it actually is... either way i still like it
