Dash is done, at least part 1

[jannes_z-28]

I am now done with my projects for this year, the dash panel is in and the car is drivable

What is left on the dash is the padding and upholstery but that has to wait to October before I start with that. Now I want to drive and sort out eventual bugs in the new LS1 setup and most of all enjoy it. It is almost two years since I drove it last time. Speakers in the doors will be fitted tomorrow and a bleeding of the brakes needs to be done. I took it out of the garage today and turned her around so that the ass is towards the door for the fumes to easier escape. I need to run the engine for a while and do some tunes, checking that the fans run properly and so on.

I will also do a console over the transtunnel so the floor carpets can be as they are since they will be hidden later.

The stereo have iPod connection and the 7" screen will be hooked up to a Mac Mini in the console for entertainment. As it is now I can run movies from the iPod on the screen. Under the stereo there is the climatecontrol for the VA A/C. You set a temperature and it will control the fans and compressor. The knob to the right is for the VA ventdoors.

The knob in the upper left corner is for controlling the Camaro 01 wipermotor.

In the dash you see slots for signal lamps, like flasher, highbeam, MIL, brakes and so on.

New knobs and buttons for the lights, the left is for parking and beam. The second is for the Marquez runninglights and the knob is the level of instumentlights. There are two pushbuttons to the right of the dash and they are for mist and washer to the wiper system.

Here you have some pics.

Infact Bill there are a few more 69's with LS1's around here. And some hotrods, Chevy 55's and so on.

Here is an engine shot. I have fixed the adjustment rod for the AC compressor and it has a belt

Yes that is part 2 of my interior project. I will make something different that will look a little more modern.

The speaker hole is old and was covered with cloth, I will mount speakers there temporarily until the new panels are done.
