wall art
I had a bit of leftover paint in the gun after squirting the 72 Sierra Grande So I grabbed an extra dash, scuffed it with scotch brite and gave it a couple of coats of med blue.. assembled it with parts n pieces that were laying around and hung it up..
What do you think? Hmmmmmm... maybe I should hook up the dash lights,get a new bezel, chrome balls and center vent, new woodgrain stickems then add a tach/vac dash?? |

You should cut it for an aftermarket stereo.

Re: wall art

That's cool! The Truck Shop also has a dash in their showroom...lights, radio, etc, and they all work

Re: wall art
Guys.. thanks for the compliments and ideas!!..
I think I will go ahead and wire up the radio, AC controls, lighter light and dash lights to the headlight switch (for the dimmer) and the ign switch for off and on.. Maybe even put in my "custom autosound" AM-FM with the 10 disc cd changer.. |

Re: wall art
i'd add a steering column and wheel to it. but make sure its trashed as far as operation is concerned. if you don't have one i think i know of a place where i could dig one up for you
