Interior
The plan for the interior was to remove all the bits I didn't need, all the stuff that was just soft or pretty, while adding equipment and such to turn it into the sort of 'command center' the driver's seat of car like this would have to be.

The first order of buisness was to remove the stock dash pad. I had orignally pondered attaching stuff to it, but a) it looked cooler without it and b) the classic car guy in my couldn't bear to destroy a perfect original dash pad. So I sold it on ebay for $135.

At the same time I ripped out Scar's seats & carpet and sealed & patched all the rust in the floor so she wouldn't go all flintstones on me.

To cover the holes in the dash I used various pieces of metal I had laying around, screwed in place. A gauge cluster was added as well, above the tach. I tore out the useless stock radio & speakers at this point too.

Just because the apocalypse has happened, doesn't mean we can't have tunes. I was inordinately fond of this. I hid a radio behind a flip down panel on the dash. It was done so I wouldn't have to worry about it getting stolen if I left her unlocked. As you can see in the other pictures the panel even had fake screw heads on it to make it look like it was just a block off plate. New Speakers were added front and rear as well (with the grille of the rear ones misted with rust-colored primer to make them look old and beat), and later a 10-disc CD changer went in the trunk, with the controller for it mounted on the inside of the blockoff plate you see here.


A few months later. She now has a Hurst Promatic 2 floor shifter (pulled out of a wrecked car), CB radio, and various switch panels. The panel on the dash were the stock radio was has four switches, which needed to be in the right combination of on and off for the engine to run. The panel visible in the top left corner of the windshield in the 2nd shot controls all the add-on exterior lighting. Return to creation page Return to Scar's website
