Hey all, Finished the dash in my mates 47 chevy pickup today, Its been sitting at my shop for near on a month and was the " Fill in " job... needless to say i have had no time to "fill in" so i did not get to it till late this week, I'm pretty happy with it so I thought I'd share with everyone. If I where to do it again i'd pop the gauges in a little higher and fit the top a little nicer. Pretty obvious but we used a '61 impala boot lid for the major top construction The switch pods are '60 Falcon The glove box door and frame where made by hand Column is from a late model aussie car stripped back and sleeved with a piece of stainless Quickly made him a trans tunnel as a supprise too What do you think of it?
someones gotta say it,, so here goes.... You put it in backwards,, the steering and gauges go on the other side. I like it a lot, good use of a fertile imagination!
if youse guys were to learn how to flop the photos . we could just start with the praise of the job well done.
If you had told of using the Impala piece without the pictures, there may have been a few "Oh, No!''s. With the pics all you will hear are "Oh, Yes!"s. Looks great.
Iknow I Know, we're backwards in going forwards over here Yeah agreed! I had my doubts too... specially because we came up with the idea in a junkyard after a hard night on the booze Goes to show drunken ideas can be good...? maybe.?..
