Yea, I was gonna say to PM Camaroboy69 on here too. That's his page will69camaro posted up. I was doing the same thing in my '69 as well. You can't use the
manual windows with the doors closed though. I was going to install electric windows anyway.

good thing he had enough time and money to do it....

Yea, I had the entire black T/A interior with 6spd console I was going to put in my '69. It was gonna be killer with the '02 LS1/6spd and FM-15 cam. After firing up the engine, I realized how much $$ I had involved and how much more time and $$ I needed

Don't get upset about posting on something you know nothing about. Everyone does it at some point.
I would like to do it but I have a 4th gen. When I get into my 69, I don't want to feel like i'm driving my 99.
Either way it looks good however.

I have yet to see a dash I really like for a first gen... I like the look of a 5" tach and speedo in a 67/68 cluster, but having all my gauges front and center is more important to me so I went with a 6-gauge Covan's panel in my 68. Also hate the back-sloping center stack in the 67/68... going to do something about that in mine someday--may put a touch screen there for a computer for RTT and GPS Nav.
