'40 dash into a '36 roadster?

What needs to be done to a 1940 Ford dash inorder for it to fit a 35-36 Ford roadster? I really like the look.

I know it's been done many times, but I would really like to get an idea of where to cut and how much before I start buying the parts!

Thanks,
Steve

 

Surely someone here has done this! Maybe a dash FS already modified ??

It is just a matter of cutting and fitting. Use the stock dash as a template to trim the '40 dash to fit. I think the width is pretty close to the same.

 

A bit like putting a 40 grill on it IMO. Your car. Measure twice!

 

This is mine. Width is good as is, just trim the ends carefully then fit it....

 

So, I'm now looking for a complete '40 dash (not hacked up or missing major parts). Let me know if you have one!
