OKAY! I need to figure out how they did this. I want it bad. If any of you have experience making dashes please enlighten me. Enjoy the pics!

abadsvt · 09-13-2006, 11:50 AM

I almost forgot. If anyone you want to see the whole truck here you go. http://www.customclassictrucks.com/f.../photo_06.html

I think Chip Foose said it well...

C-Notes · 09-13-2006, 12:34 PM

That looks great. Something to keep in mind when my project comes to fruition.

boraxman · 09-13-2006, 12:36 PM

Looks like a comfy ride

Deuce · 09-13-2006, 12:37 PM

Looks like a dash out of a early 60's chevy truck.............with some mods!!!

Joe67 · 09-13-2006, 01:04 PM

I would hate to have a truck that I am too dirty to ever ride in. Nice concept, though.

Jim_PA · 09-13-2006, 02:31 PM

That's great work, but I think I prefer my truck with the original styling.

I think it is more of a concept/styling showcase. No visors, nor do I see provisions for a shoulder or lap belt. I only see a latch but no belt?

Also, that low seat with the raised curvature of the dash would make it hard for an average height person to see.

I do like the lines but not very practical IMO

I was thinking the same thing. Its a gorgeous interior but I would have to wear a painters suit with white gloves to drive it around the block! I love the console!

*Shane* · 09-13-2006, 05:11 PM

Me likey ... regardless of the safety issues.

LeftEar55 · 09-13-2006, 05:17 PM

Well, I know it's real, because it's on the cover of my May 06 Custom Classic Trucks magazine. And in the article, it says father and son fabbed the dash out of alluminum and fiberglass, in the style of a mid 60's Vette

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-13-2006, 05:21 PM

**SactoJim** · 09-13-2006, 05:31 PM

That is definately a beautiful interior and the attention to detail is obvious, but I sure don't care for the design of the graphics. I like the two tone thing, just don't care for the way they seperated the 2 colors. I also think it would look better if it had a lower stance as well.

Regardless, I certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into a project like that.

seabee · 09-13-2006, 05:37 PM

that thing is really nice but i couldnt have that i am always getting dirty .i couldnt keep it clean .

QKENUF4U · 09-13-2006, 07:30 PM

that truck is the BOMB IMHO !!! i love everthing about it, only thing i would change is it would have to be a pro-street truck with big ol tires out back like mine has

chevyboy55 · 09-13-2006, 08:58 PM

It's unreal gorgeous. I'd also be willing to bet it never sees the pavement except when it's loaded & unloaded from the trailer.

Sammy · 09-13-2006, 10:52 PM

Wow U gotta be kiddin me..Beautiful job..But think it's not going to be driven to Wally's for a case of beer!!!

VERY NICE... I LIKE IT. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER 1000000 TRUCKS ON THE ROAD & THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. DIFFERENT IS GOOD. WANT HIM TO PAINT HIS TRUCK RED, DROP IT 3/5 & PUT A SET OF TORQUE THRUSTS ON IT...... & CALL IT CUSTOM?? JUST EXACTLY LIKE 1/2 OF THE OTHER TRUCKS YOU SEE.
