Thread: '37 Dodge sedan

Tweet

Decided I want to get my dash figured out. At first, I really wanted to fit a '49 Ford dash into the sedan, but I've since decided to stick with the original. I stripped off the original paint and it will get a bath in the molasses tank for a couple weeks to get any rust out of the nooks and crannies before it gets some epoxy. I'm thinking I'll probably lose the ashtrays and whatnot in the center section and make a flip down cover to hide a modern stereo. I want the comforts of a modern car, but I hate the look of modern parts in a car that's supposed to have a classic vibe.

Side note: a '37 Dodge sedan is 3ft 7.5in wide across the inside cowl. I've only sat inside it with another person once before, and I know it's tight, but that measurement really surprised me. Glad I'm using the automatic in this one, it's even narrower at the toe board and I like to stretch out!
