Got a little further on the dash yesterday. I made plugs out of PVC to form the gauge wells, since these gauges are too big for the original bezel opening.
I did the kitty hair "form the bezel to the dash deal" again. Used vinyl & spray Pam as a release agent.
I welded some strap aluminum to the top & bottom to stiffen up the bezel & to provide a place for rubber mounting grommets.
Got the bezel just setting in place. It's being held in by the dash bar. Close enough to see what it'll look like.

Pro, that looks awesome! That is one bad hog of a sheet metal brake you've got there. You definately need to send pics to some of the car magazines; no doubt they'd do a story on your car.
Cleaned up the truck and did a few short trips around town. I've got a few small things to finish and some minor bugs but I'm pretty happy for a 60 year old drivetrain. Definately not going anywhere fast but a fun little cruzer.

Pro great job with the dash build I heard its very tricky heating it just right so not to crack .
Falcon seems your rodding quicker then you originally thought . The truck came out looking real good and sits just right .
Well after 11 years the left front brake system is on , cleaned master cylinder and painted cast iron , installed the master and put in most the front brake lines . best day I've had in a while felt good getting this one going .
This car will need a serious bath to get off years and years of dust .Last edited by bluestang67; 04-20-2008 at 08:20 PM.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
