I like my interior mostly stock, but just installed my custom gauge rings from Luis (motobooks) and I love how they look on my '86!

 

Where do you get the gauge rings from??

 

where do you get the gauge rings from?

 

Not everyones favorite interior but whatever. Will have autometer cobalt series afr and nitrous press gauges in the pods along with a custom shift light location.


But heres what i started with

 

Custom made by some members here on the boards. There have to be "xx" amount of pre-orders before they'll do it otherwise it costs too much per set. I think the last one was 15 or 20 before he broke even on it.

 

I got mine from motobooks a member in this forum

 

Alright, heres my interior, take a look i need advice on gauge and gauge clusters. Maybe someone would like to make a custom housing or gauge pod?... let me know wgat you guys think please. Its a 91 RS. More pics in profile

 

 

Id like to go digital, wether it be intellitronix or anything. Im looking for an aluminum instrument housing that fights intellitronix digi gauges, all i can find is this

http://www.camarocentral.com/mobile/...ctCode=DAS-393

Which is nice but it has 5" holes for speedo and tach and intellitronix are only 3" :/ .. On the other hand Autometer. Elite gauges are also catching my eye, i just need a cool freaking gauge cluster housing......

any help advice and suggestions are welcome.

 

 

Bump

 

Racer I am really digging that steering wheel. Was thinking about putting one in my IROC. Did you run into any problems installing it?

 

Neweraracer which grant steering wheel is that i am looking for one just like that!

 

Did you do that yourself or order it from someone? And what kind of problem was it wiring it in?!?!

 

None that i recall, i just left all the electronics delete and didnt connect the horn.

I ordered the steering wheel from here

I love the look of the dash, my question would be, 4th gen seats with it? and if so how in the world do you manage to see over dash and cowl

 

it did have 4th gen seats, but i'm using a kirkey on the driver's side now, which is actually sitting even lower than the 4th gen seats. the kirkey is basically on the floor. i have no problems seeing what i'm doing:

 

Ive got the same wheel in my camaro....but you gotta fix the horn button. My ocd wont allow it to be crooked like that and not say anything....

 

Lol yea its a little loose i thought about dropping a few drops of super glue in the crevice but aint got around to it

 

Did you do teh seats and center cover yourself? They are amazing!

 

No, unfortunately i cant take credit for that, i designed the theme and chose colors and leather but had a local upholstery shop do the front and back seats. The only thing i did were the panels, head liner and carpet

 

I built this one for my '91 Camaro, I haven't installed it yet

 

Like it

 

What size Speedo and tach holes?

 

3 3/8, all others are 2 1/16

 

Want to sell the housing without the gauges.

 

I just made it a week ago, so I'm not selling it. It was super easy to do I just used a piece of scrap of black aluminum I had laying around. I'll take some pics of it apart so you could copy it if you like.

 

Ok, if any one has one for sale let me know

 

92 BBC Z how do I turn my 92 gauges into this? 0-0 looks freaking awesome.


pwdbychevy where did you get those? and do they come for the 90-92 cluster? bc these are also sweet.

 

Not as cool as some of these, but here's mine

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...rior-done.html

 

I changed the backlight to blue, added a 140mph speedo and changed the needles from orange to white

First I converted the back of the gauges from orange to gloss white





Then I taped off and did the same with the front bezel. I also repainted the front part black.




Then I painted all the needles white




I used these bulbs for the blue back light 194 wedge bulbs with 5 LEDs



My first time lighting it up I found too many cold spots.



There were some empty spaces in the cluster so I scraped the mask from the traces and added more bulbs. here is the final result






I am really pleased

 

what year did Camaros/trans am's have cup holders on the doors

 

Never an option on Camaros.
Thats a f.b, t/a option (88-up, i think) & not available w/ maual windows.Not availble on GTAs either & whatever other stipulations may be.

 

Door panels are interchangeable between trans am / firebird to camaro? Like if i found those panels would they fit my doors i have power everything so

 

Yes, or you can keep your panels & just use the cup holder.

 

From Firebirds & Trans Am yes unless it is the Deluxe Interior like in the GTAs with their different arm rests. Those can be swapped in if you add the extra bracket that changes the arm rest mounting screw positions from the bottom to the sides.

 

John Covan's Thunder Road gauge panel with Autometer American Muscle series gauges. Steering wheel is a 14" split spoke from Billet Specialties.

 

What are the sizes of those gauges you used? Did you make that backing plate yourself out of ABS plastic?

 

A while back i bought some single leds. Blacklight ones and pure white ones. I popped off my headliner and burnt through it through the backsid . Inserted each led in a random pattern.. wired each individual color together.. then to a switch.. and vwala. Dome lights and party lights in one lol

 

Here are a few from my build. Used the 3M Carbon Fiber vinyl, and plexiglass, cut to size and there you have it, nothing too extravagant! Other gauges are on the pillar.

 

I just realized I've never posted my gauge rings!

 

Can't wait to make mine soon ! Also make my aluminum shift plate for my th350 , aluminum door piece that holds the unlock/lock buttons ( deleting the buttons and making a solid piece with cut outs for the handle and locking lever ) & cluster bezel with toggle switch inserts ! And adding removable steering wheel with red stitching ! Hope to be done in the next few weeks

 

Can you share any information you have about the installation of that gauge in the side vent location?

 

Where did You get these ?!?

 

There was a member here that was selling them a while back. I don't know if he still is or not.

B&M pro stick shifter fabbed up as a console fit
