I just had to share these!! The wife does not appreciate this. I tore the dash apart stripped it and put in a new wiring harness. Repainted the dash with Corvette America dye, Al Knoch Dash pads, Corvette Speciailties rebuilt the cluster and clock Dr Don's rebuilt the radio and here is during!! and after.

Nice job!! Now about those feet standing on the seat while you were taking pictures........???? :lol:

 

very, very, nice work!!! :thumbs:

 

Sure does look purdy. You want to come do mine. :lol: I will sure appreciate it.. :lol: :lol: Dave.

 

were you happy with the results of the cluster rebuild? how much did it cost? I am going to have my cluster redone and have been hearing alot about someone named jason, and the place where you had yours done.

 

Cowtown Dave,

You do GOOD WORK!! That is one area of my '5 that does need atttention, the dash pads. Made the mistake of taken that car all apart EXCEPT the dash pads. Would've, could've SHOULD'VE!! Again, nice work.

 

nice job :seeya

 

Wow -- Looks great. Nice Job

 

Dave,

Great work! :cheers:

I am not sure if it is true that your wife does not appreciate the fine work that you did. I think that it is that she does not get as excited about it. I remember when I did mine, I couldn't stop going back out to the garage late at night just to look at it!!

It is a lot of fun when you do it yourself and it turns out nice.

Nice job! That dye seems to do a good job. Spray it on just like paint?

 

Excellent....dash restro really makes a big difference...do all your controls work now since you rewired? Secondly....now the radio has been reworked don't forget the ground straps and grounding plan, as well as the radio cable should be replaced, giving the radio a clean ground....this can cause problems if not done....been there got that T-Shirt...


Love those Dash Resto's...especially Corvette Specialists work.... :cool:

 

Cowtown Dave, that's beautiful. I need to paint the center dash on my 63 after a little mishap with laquer thinner. I have the interior paint from Mid America but appears it will be too flat, (dark blue). Is the paint from Corvette america a better choice?

looks great from here ! ........... and that color, i like it.... it's a very close second to black in my book :lol:

 

:thumbs: :cool:

 

Thanks!! The cluster work from C specialties was fantastic. It was a little more than I planned but they fixed things I didn't think about but definitely needed. They did the complete dash cluster, clock and console for about $1000. This is just going to be a daily driver but the dash cluster is 100 pts!!

 

Looks great. You need to drive that car down to Boerne Texas on 4-17-04 for the Corvette show there and show off that sweet dash. :thumbs:

 

Man that looks great!
A dash refurbish is in my plans. It includes a color change and I plan to use dye on the dash and pads. Any tricks on the dye job?

 

Man that is a great Job Dave.....
Now get your feet off those seats...........
Opps sorry about that, I was having a flashback of the kids when they were small jumping on the seats.....Lol
Keep up the good work.
