Location? There is no headliner in Vettes, just T-tops and plastic liners on the earlier models.

That was my plan when I bought my '77, so I bought a new crate motor, installed fuel injection, put an overdrive transmission in, and now this winter I am making my own fiberglass dash with new autometer gauges.
