Breadbox delete panel survey
#21
Man...I like everything about your interior. The gauges, color-matched seats, steering wheel, etc...
The only thing that looks a little out of place is the two smaller, round gauges in the old info center. Looks like trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.
Is the flat panel made from masonite.

After building the main gauge cluster (tach, speedo, oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp), I still needed a place for a voltmeter and fuel level gauge so they found homes in the center. I don't think they look out of place when you are sitting in the car.

Yours is really nice where did you get it? This is mine in my 85, I bought it like this off ebay, it came with the car. As you can see it will hold a cassette tape or a pack of smokes in the glove box.
This is my stock 84 impact resistor.

I do like the functioning glovebox much better. 150 would be a bit steep for me but that cup holder and box would be worth a c note to me.
I wonder if you could make a kit that would use the stock breadbox and hollow it out and mount over something for a functioning glovebox.... then maintain the stock look a lot love and give it some functionality many want...

I bought a delete kit for my 86 and I still have the original breadbox with the vent hose piece. it's in perfect condition. any one want to buy it? Might be able to use it for a template or experiment a bit. I have a 96 now so I don't need it and forgot to give to the new owner. Make an offer. When I had put in the delete kit I also attached a gold corvette emblem like the one on the rear of the car. I thought it looked pretty good but to each his own. Thats what makes it interesting

Safety Car
As soon as I see a delete panel in place of the breadbox, I think the car has been hacked up. Sorry, but I think it looks worse flat. Might as well put a piece of plywood there. The breadbox look-a-like with the hidden glove box is about the best looking one I think . The only thing is, it has absolutely no protection for the passenger. I realize the original isn't that much crash protection, but it's better than smashing into a flat non padded dash panel.

Well, to each his own. Cars have been on the roads for a hundred years before seat belts, crash pads, air bags, safety seats......
Anyways due to the overwhelming response -snic- this thread is dead.
