Default TransAm interior in Camaro finally have some pics

Okay well I didn't put the whole interior in, but I did manage to get the dash and door panels to fit in the Camaro. Since the car isn't going to see much street use I got rid of the stock guages, radio, and AC *****.etc...

Instead I fabbed up a template out of Carbon fiber for the guages that will probably be home to a 3 3/8" tach, shiflight and a 2 5/8" guage. Additionally the three air vents in the center of the dash will house 2 5/8" guages. The carbon fiber panel where the radio used to go will hold two 2 1/16" guages and the area where the AC stuff went will be home for nitrous switches, purge, etc.....

Just waiting on another dash pad to come along as I left mine at my buddies house and ended up getting broke in half. Next up is a new pair of Kirkey pro drag seats, two new floor mats and some new pedals. Also I haven't decided on trying to polish the cage and the clear coat it or just paint it silver.

It was easy for me to get the dash to fit. It actually bolted right in, however my car won't really see any street use so everything behind the dash is gutted. If you have AC you might have a problem with some of the ducting behind the dash.

I haven't decided yet what route to go on the cage. I'm either going to polish it then clear coat it or just paint it silver.

That looks pretty awesome man. The bezel I was talking about in your other post is the complete part, i.e., in your first pic, it includes the part that comes out to just behind the steering wheel, and goes over to house the headlight switches as well. It's just one solid piece of carbon fiber, without the clear plastic divider.

You follow what I'm getting at?

I like what you've got going on there though, very clean!

Think the TA door panels will fit a camaro dash when the door closes? I will find out in a few weeks here.

How did your roll cage get rusty??? Nice job. I look forward to seeing it when you're done.

VSGLS1- I have seen T/A door panels with a Camaro dash before so you shouldn't have any probs with fitment issues.

TACO- Thanks for the info I got what you were saying the second time around.

JackZ28- I don't know how the cage got rusty but I will polish it or paint it pretty soon.

W2WSS- It's a stroker motor with NOS nosszle kit. Here is a link to pics of the motor if you are interested.
