Anyone have a 69 camaro with a stripped out dash right now?

[Aschle]

I am in the process of rebuilding my 69' and am doing the dash currently. There was a brace in the lower middle of the dash that looks to have gone to the firewall but I am not sure due to the car not having a dash at all when I purchased it. I would greatly appreciate and photos you guys could share showing the brace / braces...

Thank you !

Im ripping mine out know. I'll try to post up something tomorrow.

I just went outside to look.
I think your talking about the bracket next to the ashtray, right?
If so, that bracket goes up to the mount that holds the speaker.
I already cut it out but maybe the pics I could help.

I just got a new computer w/o anything to reduce file size.
I'll email them to you.

I guess pc paint can do it...
Does this help?

Thank you, that is exactly what I was needing to know. The dash I bought only has about 3" of brace there and the firewall/ upper dash area has about 1/2" , I assumed it was a brace. Am I safe to say that without using the dash speaker, I can just add a strip of metal to connect the 2 pieces?

Thank you for the help !!

I think so too.
Its a small strip of metal connecting them.
Good luck!

That is almost EXACTLY what mine looks like :wow: Thank you for the help, I am going to make a brace this weekend.

I figured someone would be able to help out considering how many damn 69' Camaros are out there...:D

Are there any other braces under the dash? This looks to be the only one, just wanting to double check.

Thank you guys for the help !!

In the center or firewall, yes.
The lower section of the dash has brackets that are on the sides by the doors.
