Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Soooo, I pulled the rearend out of my frame and got it back to the shop for them to make it right. Their first attempt narrowing it was off by just under five inches. After multiple phone calls and texts showing exactly how much was needed they still got it wrong. After today's visit it should be right very soon! Finally I'll get to see how the body will look sitting on that sweet frame with the wheels on.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
The 55 Bel Air dash is a little smaller than what I thought, time to widen it!!!
I determined the best way to cut it and took the leap! ![]()

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
The dash told me what to do after cutting it, made some matching panels to fill the holes.
The final product came out pretty good for my first dash to widen. Fill in the excess holes and cut the sides off to mount on the doors. Overall it was widened 9.5 inches.

Had to step it up a notch and make the wings open with the doors.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
The dash looks great. Sometimes you need to start cutting and figure it out as you go. You can only stare at something for so long.
I like the look of it... Marc
