I have been working on the dash pad, what a piece of $hitt. If there is one part I hate in a 69 Camaro it's the dash pad.

I have had all sorts of problems with the fit up to the DSE dash, I am not sure if the pad is the problem or the dash.

So I have made it fit, it will be covered in leather so it should come out fine.

First I cut it up, then I filled it and shaped it with Sika Flex.

My other big hate it the waviness on the leading edge of the dash pad as it's held down by about 8 clips. I had the boys at Rowe & Sons make me up a leading edge from metal, to hold it nice and straight.
