[/ QUOTE ] When I was dating that girl in highschool, her dad was building an Anglia. He needed a dash idea, and after some searching, I came up with a quarter extension from a 70'ish Econoline. You know the one, with the oval taillights. It would have worked great, use the drivers side, where the light goes, as the gage pod, then the extension towards where it meets the roof as the filler over to the p***enger side. It even has a taper. I thought it looked slick, he went with some fibergl*** thing. Jay
damn dudes thanks for all the praise...bigtime coming from you guys. I was bout half positive y'all would think it was krazy or stupid..but i figured fugit.. aint the first time ive been considered either
Great way to utilize a castoff part. Isn't that what rodding is all about? RECYCLING, as Martha would say "its a good thing". Well, she won't be saying it for a while at least. Frank
You already know what I think Bro, glad to see you went with the sock idea. Leave the badge on or everyone will think it's a billet piece you had made up.
