'69 Firebird custom dash?
 
I like the look of the carbon fiber custom dash that you can get for '69 Camaros, but I haven't seen much out there for Firebirds. Anyone have anything custom that they can post?

Same here
 
I'm looking for a custom cluster/dash for my 69 Firebird as well. DSE sells one for the Camaro. Somebody has to make one for the Bird.

Your in Luck!!!!
 
You guys are in luck. I've been working with Covans Classics on a panel for 69 Firebirds. It should be ready to ship in a month or so. I will post when it ready.
Thanks

Can't wait to see that. It's hard finding things for the bird.

Keep us posted please.

Any updates on this part?

av8or32 10-06-2008 09:15 PM

What's the hold up? We want our dash! :D

How about a carbon fiber face plate for your stock dash? I can pull that off!

av8or32 03-28-2009 09:46 PM

man it's a shame we have to play red headed stepchild to the camaro folks:lol: We need some FIREBIRD stuff please!

Hey guys check out Covans Thunder Road, I have one ordered we'll see what it looks like soon.

fesler 03-29-2009 07:11 PM

We talked about making one in Carbon for you guys, I have a car and am building all the billet stuff now and would like to have some interior stuff for you guys. Let me know how many we can sell and we can go from there.

av8or32 03-29-2009 07:45 PM

I'd like something like the marquez unit that they have for the Camaro

Josh69 03-30-2009 10:58 AM

Fesler, if you make one for 5" gauges, I'll take one for sure. I spoke to John at Covan's Thunder Road and he built his for the 3-3/8" only, said he felt that the big gauges were too much. Considering the factory hole is 4", I don't really agree with that sentiment. It'd be nice to have made one with the choice, kind of like what Anvil did with their carbon '69 Camaro dash.

As long as I'm throwing out suggestions, I think it'd be sweet if the aux gauges were in a row at the top across the hvac, kind of like the 70's firebirds.

av8or32 04-01-2009 11:35 AM

agreed. I'd personally like to get hold of a billet dash w/5" gauges. The smaller tac/speedo's don't look right at all. Will Camaro door panels etc. fit a Firebird?

Josh69 04-01-2009 03:09 PM

Yep, Camaro doors and door panels will fit the corresponding year Firebirds. I put the deluxe door panels in my 'bird, and noticed that the ABS backing on the aftermarket panels has the trim markings on the back for both the Camaro trim and the Firebird emblems, etc.

Any updates on dashes for 69 firebird? I have one as well and need something to replace the ugly original. Carbon would be great. Does anyone know if the DSE for the 69 camaro could be made to work?

Thanks

Jason

I guess I have no choice but to go with the Covan's unit since we haven't heard anything in so long.
