Best custom dash ever I was wanting to do this to my 1979 Datsun 280zx but was scared to cut it up but now I got to to cuz that screen is just amazing! Well done man
Since everyone is chiming in with things they don't like... let me just say, if I were going to build another '69, this is very similar to the route I'd go. Love everything about resto-mod.. really is the best of both worlds IMO. I've had the itch to do a '68 with the LT5 but time is a rare commodity these days... Instrument panel looks great and the areas with most of the defects are almost invisible once the dash cap is back in place. 🤜 BTW, I finished up an SLC a couple of years ago with one of the AiM dash units... much more compact than Holley's with lots of cool bells and whistles for logging, customization etc.. And after much debate over traditional guages, no regrets in going that route.
SEM brand Trim Black will give you the correct “semigloss” look. Spray one coat of adhesion promoter before the black. This will help the paint stick without fisheyes and defects. You can get it at an automotive paint supply store. I’ve been using the trim black for years, works great and has just the right amount of sheen.
The Christmas tree lot guys we're correct! You are crazy for tying that tree on top of that car. But when you are a talented as you are I guess you can take care of the small scratches. I would have rather had it tied to my back and walked at home LOL
I am a 69 Camaro purist. I'm not a big fan of retro but the job you did does look pretty good for modifying it. It's your car and you do what you like.
Looks Awesome! I just installed the same dash in a customer's 97 Silverado they are wicked. Luckily he had purchased a 3D-printed bezel that pretty much bolted right in. The Camaro looks killer man, keep up the good work! Cheers🍺
You knocked it out the box,Im not a Camaro guy but the work you do is all that,I definitely like that CTS project you did it was very cool it inspired me to clean mind up a little more,keep the videos coming,you really do great work!!!👍
HELL YEAH! Ive been waiting for this since before the red Z06. Absolute killer job Chris, and we really appreciate you taking the time to not only do this, but do it so you end up with a professional finished product and then taking the time to show us along the way. I never knew that about the acetone and plastic, thanks for that! Killer job man
Honestly, I was a little concerned about how that was going to come out, but it looks awesome!! Great job, love this and all of your content! Keep up the great work!
I just think the holy efi is laggy old looking technology looks out of 2008 I like old school gauges in old cars! But you did a good job on the install !!
I'm sure your opinion helps him out. Guy pays over 2 grand for that and you leave a comment saying it looks like shit, oh, but great job putting it in...
Wicked crazy fabrication skills. What vision you have Chris! I really had been looking been looking forward to more gruesome detail about swapping the a/c compressors. Oh well, I understand about time and getting on with it. Vintage A/C systems are so intriguing to me. I can't get enough about them. Thanks for taking us along with you. I love your stuff. When I am at work during the day, what I have been looking forward to these last couple of weeks is coming home and watching a video or two of your projects. Thanks man!
Looks good chris, you should have your painter buddy hit that dash with car paint, Way more easy to hit a good matte that matches and holds up better to abuse......Again Good job and another great video.......
my dad has 2 69 camaros and I have to say you have talent man... awsome video. My dad put a 327 In his 1969 convertible camaro, Maybe we can do an ls swap one day lol! Keep up the great work man!
You deserve Stradman views and sub numbers. Unlike him, you build all your cars yourself and they turn out excellent! Very informative and entertaining videos.
Yah seriously! I guess ppl just want illegal street racing and expensive supercars no one can afford or work on. This guy has more talent than any other car channel!
Another great video Chris. You are very talented at what you do, wish I had the patience and the tools to do what you do. Keep the content coming. Thanks
That's a rock solid deal you put together there. I'm going to put one of these dashes in my 240 Volvo when I do my engine swap looking forward to that.😊
Looks great like we knew it would. Love the 69,just not crazy about the front spoiler. Would love to see a 2000-02 trans am ,manual ion the channel sometime..
Hi. I am Chris of Coverado, a brand store that sells car seat covers. We are looking for some influencers to try our new seat covers. Is there any chance to work with you? Thank you!
I'm still out for debate with myself whether I like the full digital display or not. Please don't get me wrong you did a beautiful job but I'm leaning more for the Dakota dash. I have a 78 Z28 I would love to put the Dakota dash in but at a $1595 price tag .... hmmm. You're making me miss my 69 Camaro I had in High School.
One of my favorite things is taking old cars and adding new high tech stuff into them. This is right up my ally. However the $2200 bucks for Holly's, at least for ME, is a lot to swallow. I plan on making my own, been researching it for a long time. If the vehicle is ODB2 you can buy the LCD and use free software to customize it how you like. I'll be putting it on my channel this summer when I get going on it. I did not know about the acetone paste/glue. What a fantastic tip, thanks man. It came out beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it completed. Have you thought about wiring the power to the holly on a difference circuit from ignition? I think it would annoy me waiting for it to power up at initial start vs turn key to on, let it boot then start the car without the holly rebooting.
Nice work Chris, I like the acitone tip ima try that next time I work with plastic. Just a thought, depending on how bright the Holley display is, what If you took a piece of plexi and lightly spray tinted It like you did the red Z06 marker lights. And placed it in front of the display so it’s black until you fire it up that would really clean it up. just a thought I had driving to work this morning thinking. Love the channel keep up the great vids..
You could go to your local automotive paint store and get this product. From Sem makes it very strong glue but it ain’t free tho Lol looks good tho screen is huge
I admire your attention to detail .
As always I'm truly amazed with techniques to solve your problems
Man it takes talent to do what you did with that original dash. Well done!
Dude that looks freaking awesome!!! Great work!!
Wow! Very nice work. I'm impressed.
Chris man that looks awesome. Great job.
Chris this car looks amazing!
love it man - I saw that first cut and thought you are so screwed - but u totally pulled it off - congrats, looks great!
Best custom dash ever I was wanting to do this to my 1979 Datsun 280zx but was scared to cut it up but now I got to to cuz that screen is just amazing! Well done man
Amazing work. I'm super jealous of your cars.
bruh, I had my doubts when you started lol.... but you really did a great job on making it work and look professional.
You and me both
You do really nice work. That looks really good.
I know it felt amazing dropping that dash pad on, sitting back and looking at it
Killer job man, looks badass 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Man! Killer job on this brother. I’ve tried this shit before and you rocked it. It looks s not easy.
Love your videos! Camaro project is quite a journey and I love watching it. Cheers!
Glad you enjoy it 🤙
Came out great! Waiting to see how that chrome pen look , I can use one to do my dash over
Like everything you do it’s beautiful and perfect👍🏻
I think I’m more impressed with how that dash came out than anything I’ve watched
Your something like a Master Mechanic
you got skills
Two things;
1. Plastic glue is amazing
2. It came out looking fantastic!
Great job Chris!!
I hope this man's channel gets the recognition it deserves some day. Super talented dude. Keep filming them Chris we'll keep watching. Cheers brother!

Chris you can't even see the defects in the paint. It looks absolutely mint man! Great work!

I don't even know what I'm doing... I'm just going to try to fit THAT... in THERE...

It's a good day when Chris uploads. Thanks for everything you do.

Cover the sanded parts with Alcântara and paint the rest using sem trim black
“Sock Rolid “ 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
As soon as he said “sock rolid” i looked at the comment section and saw this i instantly laughed😂😂😂
Amazing turned out stellar , you are talented keep up the great videos this was a home run
Wow looks great ! Get a can of adhesion promoter and scotch brite the whole thing and that paint will stick a lot better
Love it. Holley equipment rocks.
One of your longest videos but as always enjoyable. Keep up the great work Chris.
Great job! Dash is clean and Holley efi looks great!
Dude, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.
Looks good chris, you should have your painter buddy hit that dash with car paint, Way more easy to hit a good matte that matches and holds up better to abuse......Again Good job and another great video.......
You should try some SEM brand color coat. It works great on plastic trim pieces and lays great. The colors are very close to factory GM colors also
You did that on that dash man if I had your mechanical skills it would be no stopping me 😅
my dad has 2 69 camaros and I have to say you have talent man... awsome video. My dad put a 327 In his 1969 convertible camaro, Maybe we can do an ls swap one day lol! Keep up the great work man!

This channel is to a golden dime on UA-cam 👍
Awesome! Who knew a 69 Camaro would be the perfect Guinea pig!
Another great video Chris. You are very talented at what you do, wish I had the patience and the tools to do what you do. Keep the content coming. Thanks
Sor..what an awesome job! I love your content. Keep inspiring us with your talent and hardwork! I thought there was a little mad scientist in you.😂
Amazing work. Man I wish I had found you before the Z went up for sale. Would have matched my 18 fire red 1LE. Great work.
That's a rock solid deal you put together there. I'm going to put one of these dashes in my 240 Volvo when I do my engine swap looking forward to that.😊
Never doubt Chris man good job Chris I will say it again you are all good man great video 😊
Look into SEM trim black paint. Normally lays down really well and gets that satin look you’re after. It’s also in a spray can.
GREAT JOB!!
Bad azz my friend. You keep on rockin it!
Literally came through with the "cheat codes" for us "DIYers"...
@Chis Sullivan , Absolutely Love, the "Solitary Doggidness" of you young man ! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Terrific work man, looks great! Love the vids keep ‘em coming!
Looks great like we knew it would. Love the 69,just not crazy about the front spoiler. Would love to see a 2000-02 trans am ,manual ion the channel sometime..
Definitely with the ram air would be awsome! I've always loved those
Thanks for the update my man

Absolutely incredible 👍🏻
Good stuff as usual!!! Patiently awaiting the cost breakdown on the red ZR1.

Great work brother!
great job! thanks for showing how its done. this is a great cheaper alternative to that $3500 dash out there to fit the 12.3!
Awesome vid! Would love to see any of your cars go down the quarter mile when it warms up by you!
Damn!! That looks amazing!!
Great job looks awesome
Wow great job!
amazing work
That is sick! Looks amazing.
wow amazing work!
That guage bezel turned out badass Chris! And to think, that guy wanted what, $3200? Maybe you could start a little side gig👍🏼
well done, man. looks amazing.
You could go to your local automotive paint store and get this product. From Sem makes it very strong glue but it ain’t free tho Lol looks good tho screen is huge
So did you notch ac side? Does the sway bar hit?
Nice work
Awesome channel
GREAT JOB!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
might want to pick up a can of bulldog. its an adhesion promoter and works wonders when painting plastic
Am I going to be seeing this project this spring around the neighborhood?
What's Next? How about a 1967 Fastback? that would make it complete! lol
BAD ASS CAMARO !!
great work , it looks great , have you looked into get it hydrodipped?
