Custom Dash??

Has anyone customized their dash? I am thinking of filling the radio panel and ashtray to allow for an LCD screen. I am also pondering removing the dash pad and glassing in that area. Please post any pics you may have.

A few years ago there was a truck on the board with the dash out of a 1959 Impala. Looked good too! This "flat panel" doesn't look so good.

Re: Custom Dash??

Someone on here posted a build a couple of years ago where they used a flip-up display they put where the ashtray had been. I can't remember who it was, though.

My buddy just put a 57 bel air dash in his 69 2wd blazer. He had to shrink it in the middle but it looks vrry sweet!
