Replacing the "bread box"
Anybody know of some interesting sources for replacements of the "bread box" . I know Mid-America has a plain panel, but I have seen other references in some forums that refer to panels with pockets etc. Any help would be appreciated. I am gutting the interior in my 87 vert, and I would like to replace that thing. Thanks for the help

I never saw it before, interesting, but I don't like too much.

Wayne88, if it still sticks out as far I don't think it would be that great either. I think there is some stuff out there that is flat, but has a soft pocket on the front. Thanks for the reply.

http://www.exoticwooddash.com. 87Clwy, these guys have a full carbon fiber set that includes the pass side replacement panel. It's $343, so a bit spendy. Yours looks good and I was kind of wondering whether somebody had done this and was happy with it. Thanks

Thanks, I can't remember how much I paid, but I do remember it was a bit pricey -- but worth it. I think it adds just the right touch of class and I get all kinds of compliments on it.
I forgot the kit I ordered also came with the flat backing for the passenger side. I had orginally replaced my 'bread box' with the MAD flat piece, but is was just too plain and too cheap looking.

B387,
My current '89 came with this and I really can't stand it. I like the look of the factory dash. But point being; if yours is in good shape I will trade you if you like. Mine has a mid 70's emblem taped to it, I can remove if you like. Just shoot me an E-Mail and let me know.

BTW I may not be able to respond quickly. We are having several friends come say with us from New Orleans and Gulfport due to the weather.
