'33-'34 Plymouth Dash Tech

I picked up a dash from a 60s Dodge pickup at the swapmeet a few weeks ago for twenty bucks. Today I cut it down to fit the RPU project. Please disregard the messy shop, choppin's more fun than cleanin'! Here's what I started with:

Too wide! Gonna have to cut it down.
Here's my trim marks.




I took out 17"



Preliminary fitting.
Now to trim the corners a bit.




Better to measure twice, and cut once!



Need to trim a little more.

Fits in there a little better now. Looking pretty good so far.



Need to trim to fit against the old dash.

 

why is there a cover for the guages nice work

 

why is there a cover for the guages nice work? Just love all the cut you made to get it that short.

 

The empty hole will have a panel made of s**** aluminum for guages. My buddy's out there firin' up the welder as I type.

 

Looks pretty good I have a Factory gauge cluster for one of those dashes if you are interested.

The dash tacked together hael in place by my weldor, Rusty. Now he wants to build a hot rod. It's contagious!
