    Looks great Alan! Is that a factory color for the dash?

    Yes, Anthony. That is a real close match to the original medium metallic grey dash color.

    I don't post much, but I follow a lot. I have been working on my 54 Customline project for over 10 years. This is probably partially why... I cut out the dash of a 56 F100 truck and modified it to fit. Also
    shortened the glovebox door, removed the ashtray and filled in the holes. Always liked that speedo, but a lot of work..

    Everything still works. Trans indicator shows a “green dot” Cruise-o-Matic. IMG_3339.jpeg

    Love the gauges - BUT....Speedo was and is working great - but the odometer has stopped working. Autometer needs me to send the speedo and the sender to see what failed. What a PIA!!

    I like how you painted the white all the way to the stainless that was on the padded dashes. I like it better than the way Ford did it. I painted from the stainless to the white semi gloss black but I think I like yours better.
