Does anyone know a good shop in Tucson for restoring a 77 firebird? I need to install the entire dash (which I have) and am not sure who to take it to.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried to install it yourself? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to install. It goes like this. The older car you have, the easier to work on. The newer is a hell of a lot harder. Just look at how you install things on a thirdgen, (cd player for instance) 3 torx screws for the radio trim and 4 7mm screws holding in the cd player. Now look at a 4th gen, You have to unscrew screws out of miscellaneous places (Like the glovebox and speedo) just to get the thing loose!

 

You'll have to excuse my ignorance....

But I was told that because of the speedometer and odometer that I would have to have a professional install it. Since I am not very mechanically inclined, I would rather have a professional do it anyway, since I would probably make such a mess out of it!

I just thought that maybe one of you guys might know of a place in Tucson...

Thanks!

 

The speedo is probably mechanical for all 77 f-bodys, so it's just a matter of screwing the cable into the speedo. The odometer would be one or two wires depending on the ground path.
