A '69 Nova dash pad will fit perfect on a '69 Camaro dash. I know because I test fitted one this past weekend. The beauty of it is that it gets rid of that center popout in the camaro dash. Not sure about the cluster.

thats exactly what I wanna get rid of that silly hump right in the middle.Now I wonder if I could use the nova cluster? My buddy has a few 69 nova clusters and dashes so I will try them on the weekend. Thanks for the info:thumbsup:

Im trying to get pics of my brother in laws car to post. He did this about 9 yrs ago. Had to weld a few holes where the old plastic instrument panel went and made his own instrument panel. He was talking to one of the dash companies at SEMA about putting one of their nova instrument panels in his car. I believe it was these guys. Very nice looking piece and cleans up that funky camaro dash pad.

Gaetano, didn't take you long to go try that out.

Thanks Guy, if it wasn't for you I would have never known. That kickout for the '69 Camaro dash always kept me from putting it back on after I made my custom gauge cluster.

The new Nova dash pads are a little pricey but it will definitely be a big help in the transformation of my interior.

Here is another Nova dash option.

I think this is the only company producing a steel Nova dash.
