Default Total custom interior???

Has anyone ever done a total custom job? Not like covering in leather/vinyl, I mean like swapping the dash from a Vette or GTO, OR maybe doing some kind of custom interior dash/console out of fiberglass or even carbon fiber?
Just looking for something different while I decide what to do about all my cracked interior panels

well, i havent seen any custom jobs like what your describing, while at the same time, i dont really see the point in it either. but for your cracked panels, there are a couple different good write-ups on how to fix them, so id recommend checking them out.

There was a member who I believe fiberglassed his interior panels & then had them painted with automotive paint & buffed out. They were very shiney & looked like black glass on his interior.

I also saw one car in the past with a custom dash but honestly most guys on this particular forum arent gonna mod the interior to these extents. Unless its a total custom built car show queen.

okay, after seeing that, its definitely worth it. that looks great. But id only do that if i was going for full on show car look, which is the level slammed1500's car is going to be on when it gets finished- a lot of great work going into that car from all that i've seen.

That is EXACTLY what I am looking for! Except I want to keep the rear seats for now since I have a kid and maybe one more in a couple years.

Beautiful work Slammed! where is the link to that thread man!

Back to my car, The upper dash "pad" top panel was busted in about 15 or 20 peices and whn I took it out it broke even more, so no fixing it. then there is the dash itself, it is that somewhat soft plastic, and it is cracked in three places, as well as around the passenger airbag. The whole point is that I "could" get more dash parts off fleabay but how long would each part last? I live in southwest florida so the heat and humidity are killer here. that is why I am looking for ideas like Slammed1500 has.

Any bird out there like slammed?

WOW, hot the hell do you follow that! ^^^ Looks great!

I guess I will contribute my console, shaved cupholder, ashtray, and a custom fiberglass console lid. A few other minor details as well.

As for that SEMA car....WOW IMO, looks NOTHING like a Bird, except for the t-tops and maybe the side mirrors! Reminds me of a Retarded scrapped version of a Lambo
