    Started whittling the dash down, really pained me to cut it up because of condition but it sure made for a nicer end product. Secured by use of the 3 dash rail holes and 2 factory tabs at each end of the dash . The short 1939+ steering column drop I have is about perfect, first time the channel job is working in my favor for the parts I have. Going to try and get the dash fully mounted tommorow and get on with making it steer.

    Got the dash mounted today but tragedy struck solvent got on the p***enger side mural and disturbed the paint. Working too fast will bite you every time. 20260102_141448.jpg

    Just let it be drippy for the time being. By the time the car gets dirty again maybe we won’t notice… or maybe air brush correct it. It’ll be alright but it is a bummer

    I wouldn't rush into changing it, let it sit for a bit & see what transpires

    I’d leave the Mural alone. Its a drag, but if you had bought it that way I’d like to think you would leave it as is.
    The coolness of the whole project overrides a little run in the mural.
