Default Complete new dash

Well, finally got all the parts to replace my dash and console...
New (console (all parts), shift boot, ****, drivers side, center bezel, and am on the final PS side... So am thinking about installing a clock in the AC vent on the corvette bumper or install in the flat plate... any comments


New Interior.


Trying to decide to use the bumper or just mount on left side of flat plate and still have the ac vent....

Looks good Vinnie! I would try to keep the ac vent. Your passengers will thank you on a hot day.

JMHO but, the analog clock with the digital dash looks out of place. Maybe one of those small adhesive digital clocks that you can get from Autozone, Advance or even Wally World in the lower left corner of the panel where the crash pad used to be would look better. I've even seen them with green digits that would blend well with the digital dash better.

Best Regards,

Mike.

I would get rid of the clock. Didn't you know that Vettes are so fast that they can bend time therefore making clocks irrelevant :jester

You can make a real nice cover to fit that nasty little hole where your seat adjusters are and mount the clock there. I mounted the controller for my Pioneer CD changer there on a plate. Put the changer in the dry well behind the pass seat.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Lookin good Vinnie :thumbs:

A clock on the flat panel is a great idea. If your going with an analog amybe some thing a little smaller. Although a digital would look great there as well. Maybe balance it with a Corvette logo or letters...

I would loose the breadbox and cut a hole into the new flat panel for the clock.
