New Dash for The Hot Rod
Almost finished with the new, 3rd, dash in my hot rod. The first never was finished and the second, well I just didn't like it. I used a dodge truck dash, sectioned it 2 inches and narrowed it. Fit an instrument cluster from a 56 Olds, and here we go. I think this is the one. I am mostly happy with it, although finish is a little rough. My hands were so bad I was having trouble with spot putty and sanding. Guess I'll live with it till one of my grandson's are old enough to sand.........

I think I'll stripe the ribs on the dash with some one shot black. Also have a plan to use some lime green piping and vinyl inserts on door pannels and seat to kinda tie it all together. Next will be finish bed, and pull engine and repaint engine and trans and all the other green parts with the sublime pearl.
The only time I ever get asked for sex is on application forms.
