I just finished the dash for my 71. It took a lot of time and effort but I think it was worth it.

Wow I really like your interior. What year/model did the Saturn seats come out of? The dash looks great too! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I don't know the year of the Saturn. However, they are probably all pretty close anyway. The back seats are the best part, now my kids have a console (with cup holders) for their drinks

That dash looks great Russ. How did you set it up? how much of the original setup did you use? Thanks!

Nick, I did cut a lot of the original frame away but kept the parts that would assist in me welding a nice square steel frame in. I have added the pics of the frame-work to my web page. I have added some vertical pieces to the front of the frame to securely hold the aluminum plates for the gauges, tach, speedo, etc, since these pics were taken. If you need any other help you can contact me via my email address on the web page.

I really like the layout of the dash, but do you have any pics with better lighting, it is hard to get a feel for what it really looks like in those pics.

That was a "mock-up" (American Chopper lingo). I will take some more pics in the next few days that should have much better views. I've added a 67 Super Sport badge to the right hand side, where the glove box would normally be.

I finally got the whole thing wired and was able to take better pics (as requested). I don't have the pillar covers in yet however, they do dress it up nice.
