Early stages of the new custom dash. The dash transition out of the door panels and down to the center console were it connects to the sub enclosures in the rear. For HVAC, Vintage Air was used. We disassembled the vents and HVAC controller so that they would have the brushed nickel plating, along with the Flaming River steering column.

Ace of Spades radio cover plate motorizes down, then the head unit motorizes out of the dash off the single press of a button for added flair and uniqueness. The center dash panel was finished in gloss black to match exterior of car. Also note, the gas, brake, clutch pedals and gauge panel have been brushed nickel plated, too.
Navigation unit flush mounted into right rear of trunk area.
In the event of mechanical failure we included a Snap-On tool kit flush mounted into the trunk floor.
The door panels were constructed to house 2 sets of component speakers systems. Armrest was trimmed in Alcantera to match. The arm rest base, speaker grills and other hardware were also finished with brushed nickel plating.

Behind the scene view of motorization. We used two 2” actuators, drawer slides and some limit switches. All the custom mounts and brackets were fabricated from aluminum for durability and strength.

The Gambler Ace of Spades
Client purchased this ’69 Camaro with ideas of creating a Resto-Mod like no other. He began the project by installing a LS1 crate motor, new C5 suspension set-up, some one-off body modifications and a shiny new black paint job. All hardware and accessories have been finished with brushed nickel plating, for a unique flair. Then it was our turn. We had the task of transforming the interior from ’69 to modern. We started by removing everything from the interior including the factory dash and laid layer upon layer of Dynamat and Dynaliner to combat noise and heat, then we began designing a one of a kind interior with an audio system to complement the rest of the vehicle.
Where the rear seat once was, we fabbed a couple of fiberglass enclosures to make home for a couple of 15” subwoofers. The two enclosures are connected by a trim panel with a plexiglass “SS” logo illuminated with EL wire, the panel then flows up to the rear deck area where the massive power amp is mounted to a steel frame welded to the roll bar. Also visible is the rear of the custom center console that transitions from the dash to the rear of the car. The amplifier, woofer trim rings and roll bar were all treated with brushed nickel plating.
