Coming in the house late at night covered with dirt, grease, and welding burns? Man, I dont see how it could get any more fun! Nice looking inline you've got there, BTW.

My grandson was over yesterday and wanted to help so we decided to start looking at what it would take to put the 54 dash in. After measuring we found it was about 2" too long so he helped me strip it down and we figured out a good spot to narrow it. Also, the 54 was a lot deeper on top and rounded at the back. I took the 51 dash and cut the top off to use as a pattern.

Then I traced it on the 54 dash and cut it out. It fits nice; I'll just have to make some small filler panels for the ends and it will be ready to prep for paint. My grandson thinks the car should be orange; I'll have to think about that one. He already talked me into going with a V8 instead of the flathead.

Smart Lad! Sometimes us "older folks" can learn from the "young guns" too! A deep orange color would/could look great (I think)... 8-)

Oh and the dash is gonna look great! Again, you do some nice work!!!
