Man that is some very nice work you've done

68chevy68 · 01-12-2008, 03:59 PM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, Work has me all bogged down at the moment, as a mater of fact, thats where i am right now.

I have the filler section to mate the two peices together sitting here in my office staring at me or should i say teasing me, thats why I don't have pics yet.

68chevy68 · 01-12-2008, 05:17 PM

Thats how I feel. This is definately a one of a kind, in fact, it may be the only 68 chevy with an edsel dash. I have never seen an edsel dash in another car. Its not that often you get to see one in an edsel....lol

That is a question I have asked myself and I just can't answer that yet. I am leaning on leaving but it would be cool If I could get that peice made with the same writing only say chevrolet...

chev74 · 01-12-2008, 05:56 PM

what other custom dashes have we seen that look good?

68chevy68 · 01-13-2008, 03:45 AM

Well I have a picture now of the filler panel but I took it with my cell phone so the quality may not be as good as the last photos.

Premium72 · 01-13-2008, 06:50 AM

very nice!

BACKYARD88 · 01-13-2008, 07:00 AM

Looking good man!

That would make it what? An Edsolet?

bouncytruck · 01-13-2008, 08:04 PM

That is awesome. Extremely unique and looks good. I like the way it wraps around onto the doors.

Bishops Trucks · 01-13-2008, 08:42 PM

That is a great touch. Keep the pics coming.

**Palf70Step** · 01-14-2008, 12:49 AM

I can't wait to see it all together. I think that is going to be really sharp!

Raven Lunatic · 01-15-2008, 01:50 PM

Cee Ten, what year chevy is that dash from?

WinDancer · 01-15-2008, 02:18 PM

Great work on the dash. Leave the name on it, or most folks won't have a clue that it isn't stock

Get to work!
Now!
More pics [grin]...........

68chevy68 · 01-15-2008, 06:13 PM

I have found a couple of minutes to work on my truck. I got the filler peice trimmed and just about ready to weld in for good.

**Yukon Jack** · 01-16-2008, 08:50 AM

Very creative - you have some talent!

BACKYARD88 · 01-16-2008, 09:19 AM

I think that'll be an awesome look when you get it all finished up!

68chevy68 · 01-17-2008, 06:46 AM

I really do hope this turns out good. The metal part will be fine, its the trim and dash components I am worried about. I think I can get it looking good though. Time will tell.

68chevy68 · 01-22-2008, 11:55 AM

Man I can't wait to get back to work on this thing!!!. I have been working so much overtime lately, I can't seem to find a minute to work on it.

I will post more on it when I do though.....
