I built a dash for a 2nd gen Firebird going to SEMA to be displayed in the PYPES exhaust booth. The car has a lot of sponsors so the dash was built using products from those companies.

The dash was custom made using Anvil carbon fiber. The panel features Autometer Cobalt gauges, a Vintage Air controller, NOS arming switch, Pypes electronic exhaust cutout switch, American Autowire headlight switch, LED turn signals, a delay wiper switch, Billet headlight / wiper switch knobs, and then topping everything off is a set of polished Twist Machine bezels. The Twist bezels and Anvil carbon fiber make it very difficult to photograph.

I arrived to install the dash up in GA on Monday evening and realized how much work needed to be done so they could load the car in a trailer and head to Vegas for the show. They needed help bad, so I stayed till Friday and worked on the car 13-15 hours a day. Even with my help they still had to work on the car today in the parking lot outside the show in Los Vegas just to make it look like a complete car! The following pics are from Tuesday morning till friday afternoon when we loaded it up. Pic of the dash at the end.

The hood pins from hoodpins.net were the first part donated and the last part installed before the car was loaded.

That is amazing. Absolutely gorgeous! Only thing I'd have done differently would be to retain the Formula steering wheel. Nothing defines the interior of a 2nd Gen more than one of those.

NICE job on the dash! It just goes to show what type of person you are by staying and helping out.

Thanks guys! I'm sure you'll see more of that car. It's going to be in magazines and on powerblock TV over the next few months and its apperaring at the Moultrie meet this weekend then at PRI in Orlando in Dec. I'm sure it will be at a bunch of big shows this coming year.

Just as I saw it at SEMA this year,
I really like it.

Very nice, indeed! I must agree with the above post, though...I'm a HUGE fan of the Formula steering wheel. Nice work, though!
