Looking good and yes that dash is outstanding. Good layout of the gauges and I do like those old style faces compared to the digital. Also what is the effect on the right hand side of the dash or is it just sanding marks? I really didn't want you to lower your flowerpots too much but with the photo looking out from the inside I understand that they couldn't be too high. Yes you are nailing it perfectly.

I have been trying to figure out how I was going to get my steering rerouted to accommodate the headers I have laying in the barn because of the steering. Thanks!

Thanks sir ........ our intention is to keep him looking as much like an old '60's Gasser as we can ........ and those Autometer gauges just looked right ........ what you are seeing on the right hand side of the dash is five bead rolls centered vertically in the panel ........ they are 1" apart and the lengths (from the top) are 6", 8" 10",8", and 6" ........... the dash will be painted and I believe those rolls will break up the expanse on the right side very nicely........ we will have an ignition switch and three toggle switches centered under the smaller gauges (lights, interior light, & electric fan)
