No turning back now! Cut out the lower 2/3 of the original dash and began fitting the stretched Camaro Dash.

Working out pretty well thus far.... more pic's on page 3 of my build thread.

Outstanding, can't wait to see it complete. Sure like how the one turned out in the model A.

Believe me I walked around a bit questioning my sanity before I took the cutoff wheel to the original dash. :crazy:

Since the original dash had been butchered by the previous owner in the radio area and in the glove box area I only felt a little hackers remorse.

I'd love to know the history of my truck.... the interior had been painted lime green at one point! :barf:

Another day of welding and grinding.. ref. stretched '67 Camaro dash that's going into my 65 (see signature for link). Spent the day fabricating brackets so the dash will be a true bolt in. Kind of a pain in the rump but this should make wiring and repairs easier in the future.

markeb01 01-03-2010 07:45 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
Once you finish up on the easy engineering and fabricating of the prototype, you’re just one step away from mass producing the bolt in kit for the rest of us with limited talent!:haha:
