Ok, with the tubs and fenders now in place, (bodywork obviously to be done later)...it's time to modify and install a new dash. Something sleek but dark.
I took out the old dash assembly seen here, and then measured and cut out a piece of metal for the new dash, then found my break points..initiated those then drilled the mounting hole and hung the new part onto the fabricated L-bracket that I had to weld into place on the upper edge of the metal frame work. This worked awesome! After that, I marked out the placements for the new Equus guages that are to give it that nice mean look. Once I had the circles cut, the switches drilled, and the black "Wrinkle" paint applied and all put back together using button head ss screw for that billet look...WOOT! Very nice indeed! and being that this car is going to be street legal..here in Utah you have to have all the electrical including the heater blower controls etc. So, I managed to keep the original heater control unit as well. And there you have it...shes coming right along would'nt you say? :)
