babyblueoval · 11-23-2009, 09:05 PM

Very clean and simple. I like it so far.

FnLow69 · 11-23-2009, 10:31 PM

Well got the whole dash mocked in and tacked together, it turn out better than i thought it would. It uses a 1950 ford gauge and the points from the 50 ford dash as well. There are chrome covers that bolt on the ends of the points(need new ones). Anyways let me know what you think...the surprise is still to come.....

Gauge mount.......

Now with the points......

More soon, hope to get it all welded this coming weekend.

FnLow69 · 11-27-2009, 03:06 AM

Thanks guys, sheet metal works not my favorite thing to do, but i force myself to do it and try to get better.

Looks great, I like to see them one of a kind dashboards. Carry on.

FnLow69 · 11-28-2009, 03:51 AM

Justin

*1sik52* · 11-28-2009, 09:59 AM

Looks really good!

**67cheby** · 11-28-2009, 10:28 AM

looks killer!!

jlaird · 11-29-2009, 09:32 AM

Nice work. I've got to ask, it doesn't look like those pieces coming off the gauge are going down the centerline of the dash. Looks off to me. Just my .02¢

I think it's the angle he is standing at with the camera. Seems centered to me. Besides, a guy with that much fab skills will definately check his tolerances and angles before tacking I would think. This is one sick build!

lol, thanks man.

FnLow69 · 11-30-2009, 11:43 PM

well got the dash all welded and smoothed on sunday. also cut out the passanger side floor where i bodydropped it to angle the fillers. I went ahead and removed the inner rocker and made the new filler/inner rocker and it also caps the bottom of the rocker off as well. hard to explain pictures to follow. got the passanger side done today.

heres the dash with the gauge and the end pieces on it.

old fillers removed

New piece ready to be installed

all patched back together

All welded.....

well do the other side this coming weekend.

Justin

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 10:15 PM

Heres the body mounts.
