I plan to make an adapter to mount the chevy sending unit.

Got the dash cut out today.

I'm undecided on whether I want to find some cool old dash and graft it in or make something like this from scratch. Right now I am leaning towards making one unless someone has something cool they would part with.

looking good bro.... what dash is that in the last pic?

Nobaddaze · 01-03-2012, 01:46 AM

You should build a dash from scratch. whenever i see dash's out of other vehicles they always seem to be out of place. You have MAD skills so I know it would be cool. Just my .02

justpball · 01-03-2012, 11:22 AM

^ +1 bro, build it...

No, it's not. It is an early 30's

Hey guys, I put together a video from the start of my build to now.

Take a look

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9atB...ature=youtu.be

Nobaddaze · 01-06-2012, 01:39 AM

thats a cool vid

cory d · 01-06-2012, 02:10 AM

your friends must get sick of you calling them to take the cab and bed off every week. the rc car videos are pretty cool too.

as for the dash, how do you think a 60-66 dash would look. i bet you could do someting pretty cool with it and it would tie in with the hood

THey don't mind the bed but the cab is another story.

I loked at doing the 60's dash but I want something with more shape to it. I am going to build one and see what happens

great job on the video. I like all the build images in one place. I wish I had the mad skills.. Great build.. I am glad you didnt give it up.

ratty 46 · 01-23-2012, 12:11 AM

The vid was kewl. I must say you should get the award for the best metalwork in a outside garage. Hell ... I've seen worse from high end closed in shops.

Please continue.

cory d · 01-23-2012, 12:13 AM

any updates? if so i would love to see some

dv8customs · 01-23-2012, 02:52 PM

Thanks guys, no updates yet. The steel supplier couldn't get the size I wanted so instead of notifying me they just didn't place the order. I now have a 5x10 sheet on order that should arrive any day now.

cory d · 01-23-2012, 02:58 PM

what are the plans or am just going to have to wait and see
