I bought a 1967 MGB GT to use parts for restoring another 67 GT. I decided to put together a kit to convert a later model MGB to the steel dash. In putting the kit together I cut out the steel cowl that goes behind the dash from end to end and through the slots for the defroster vents. I managed to keep three 0f the four vent holes. This piece will need some work but is required to do the conversion correctly. There is a cover that will hide the seam anyway. I also have a new never installed speaker console from later model British spec cars that will correctly fit the later model tunnel.
The kit includes;
The dash with glove box
Steel cowl and cover, the cover is recently replaced with a new one
New dash pad ($135 alone for a new one)
New speaker console ($140), new grill ($15), new bezel ($48) and a new wood backing plate that isn't even listed
Bracket for turn indicator lights which I don't know is available, along with other misc parts but no gauges
IF YOU WANT THAT OLD SCHOOL METAL DASH LOOK AND WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THIS IS THE KIT FOR YOU, IT HAS EVERYTHING MAJOR YOU WILL NEED!

Mon, 09 Aug 2010Chevrolet's quest for more vehicles that match the styling appeal of the Equinox crossover and Camaro muscle car will continue in the next several years. For instance, a more upscale Impala is in the works, with a low production volume and limited rental fleet sales, one source says. That would follow the example set by the 2010 Ford Taurus.
