View Full Version : Just finished at MCC!!
This car was at Mikes Custom Cars when I picked up my floor. I was blown away by the detail of this car. The dash is a work of art ! The paint is perfection. The interior is all leather including the floor! Mike told me what interior cost alone! :faint: This was built for a good friend of Mikes who owns a local body shop,it was built for his wife .... I know its not PT but man this car just blew me away . Heres some pics...

I recognize that dash from the back of one of the mags. I think they come in two different versions, both hand laid f/g.

That dash is all steel !!! Not fiberglass .
We built this dash for my buddy's car about 7 to 8 years ago (Not this car) . The dash/car was on my web in till some guys copy the dash . About 7 Camaro and 4 other cars that i know of . And yes someone is making it in fiberglass to now . The dash was removed from his car and a new custom dash was built.
Brian liked the dash we built for him years ago . So he had me install it back in to his wife's car we built (Blue 69 Camaro here ) . All the parts on this car are all steel !!!

Rodger,
This is a all steel dash built by me(Mike Riggs/MCC) for Brain Hall's 69 Camaro about 8 + years ago . This dash is out of a 59/60 Chevy and was custom made to fit Brian's 69. This dash was in Brian Hall's other car and it was on my web showing how it was built back then .
A lot of guys like how it looked and with in weeks of it being posted , about 5 Camaro had one to . Even someone made a fiberglass one (Dash works) .
It's cool ... just happy every one liked it.
Thanks,
Mike

This console is all metal 18 ga steel and painted like the body. Everything on this car is steel but the custom rear seat frame made by us to . It's fiberglass.
A lot of the photos showing these parts being built are not on the web .
I will try to get my brother to update the web photos in the next day or 2. I will have him post more photos of the custom parts we built on this car !!!
Thanks,

In the times I've been with Mike at the shop I've seen a few of his cars going together including this one . Their all impressive with the fit and finnish and attention to detail. If I needed custom work done I wouldn't hesitate to have Mike do it. I only wish I had more money to get a lot of the other stuff he makes for my car.
Guys all photos of this car has been posted now . Metal work on the dash,console, Inner top door panels and more .
*** Some photos has been moved around to get most of the photos in order.***
