      Still can’t understand why they stopped making interiors in nice colors, looks so much better than the modern sea of gray

        Same reason most new cars sold are black, white or gray on the outside. Dealers found that those are the colors most customers who come in looking for other colors will settle for if they get a good deal. Same with interiors.

        Couldn’t agree more. Cars today are real samey and that’s not really my vibe

      GM still using that 1960’s sweep speedometer. It’s what the old folks in the 90’s were used to, I guess. Haha

        I think the speedometer slaps, the 93 that I’m using as a parts car has a digital dash and I hate it. “Ain’t broke, don’t fix it” feel me?

          Opposite - give me one nice large, exact number to glance at instantly instead of figuring out which numbers the orange line is closest to.

          Uggh, I despise digital dash.

          I don’t hate the sweep, I just recognize it as what GM has used since the 60’s. More of an interesting aside, kind of surprised me they retained it for so long.

      @bizzle oh man! Just looking at the pictures is bringing back the smell, the sound the locks make, the feeling of pulling to open the door, the slight vibration when you accelerate. Love this! Have fun with this project!
