Boy, I bet it looks nice, but I can't tell.
The link is not working, or I'm really "Not authorized to veiw"

Very, very nice!!!! A job well done! You deserve to be proud of that!!

And a bit of info for anyone trying to figure out where the "kickdown/passing gear" switch is for a 400 trans, take a good look at the first pic. You'll see it just under the relay (silver box 'thingy')& slightly to the right, in the upper/center of the pic., above the accelerator pedal. Adams' Apple38567.8736342593

Stevep361,

You are correct the center console, as well as, the tach and speedo bezel are supposed to be black with chrome trim. If the interior is deluxe then you would have the wood grain inserts. I thought I would add a personal touch. I think it looks great, and it can always be changed back to stock.......

I have NEVER seen a Silver Dash Besel before in any Corvette....I like the looks... gives me a few ideas...

BUT does it cause you any problems when driving....(light reflecting into your eyes etc)  My 64 has enough chrome on the dash and windshield pillars to sometimes bother me...


Had to laugh when I pulled up the first picture....UGLY when it was torn apart....been there done that...but it still looks bad with everything out...

I haven't got it on the road yet... just need to put in the master brake cylinder and bleed, but i'll let you know if the reflection of the chrome is a bit to much
