A few Interior pics of my 68' camaro with single din radio and 2013 Camaro console

Here are a few quick pics of my 68' Camaro that I am just finishing up with a LS/T56 swap and had the interior redone (traded out work)

I used the factory 68 Camaro center dash panel with a aftermarket Metra single DIN mount molded it in and had a Local company here (Sin City Hydrographics) dip it in black carbon fiber, then used both 220grit sandpaper and scotchbrite pad to give the perimeter the "brushed" aluminum look to match the Twist Machine shifter handle for the T56

The center console is from a 2013 Camaro, but I took my old Autometer 4 gauge pod from the stock 68-9 center console and fab'd & molded it into the Gen 5 Camaro 6spd shifter bezel (had a tray with no gauges) filled in where the factory traction control switch went and drilled two holes for my heated seat switches
Then had the crew @ Sin City hydrodip them

The seats were recovered in black leather and suede by Jose @ ABC Discount Upholstery here in Vegas, he also did the console "pouche" where the factory e-brake would be

Looks great. How difficult was it to retrofit the 5th gen console in the first gen?

It wasn't too difficult at all
I did trim the front sides to "fit" the 68' dash better
just made a center and rear mounting bracket, once I located it where I wanted it to be

They started life as new Hunsaker seats that I got fro a guy who was selling off his project car and parts
traded some work to a guy that owns a upholstery shop and had them recovered in black leather and suede

Now you need a carbon fiber dash carrier:

Mine came from here. It's a very nice piece and high quality.

I am familiar with Anvil, they have some great products
I am just going to use what I have now, didn't know if it would be "too much" if I went with that dash carrier??

I think it it would look good and match the console gauges in the carbon. It's actually surprisingly subdued when installed and looking at it.

Taken in my garage with the flash from phone. Crappy shot but at night it looks back. in bright light you can tell it's carbon but does not just blast it out say hey look I am cabon fiber...LOL.
