SS Dash
 

I keep leaning toward getting an SS dash so it would clean up all the aftermarket gauges we have. Problem is the damn things are so expensive..

I went with Big Tony's replacement dash for $359. Price seemed reasonable to me based on what's going on to make it. I'm only replacing an old SS dash so I don't need to mess with the wire harness.

See thats the problem. I would be making the move from a sweep dash putting the total cost of the conversion close to 2 grand.

You could do something custom... Here's mine.

That wasn't cheap either, but it was far less than 2 grand. :eek:

It's hard to do something custom with a 70-72 sweep dash. You do see SS dash's on craigslist now and then. Even if you had to replace parts of it, it would be cheaper than buying everything new.

I have a 72 ss el camino and a 72 malibu convertible so I have one of each dashes, but I like the sweep dash the best. It is easier to see in dark conditions with the sweep dash

I have been seriously considering one of these. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CT...0111/?rtype=10

I also considered a digital dash conversion like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DAKOT...Q5fAccessories but for the sweep dash. The wife did not really care for it.

Derek, since we have a sweep dash it would require building a flat panel to mount all the new gauges. Its probably easier and may look nice if we went with the covan insert.

Different layout but still looks good. What about the dash vent of the passenger side?
