46 Ford/Merc custom dashes

I am looking for some new ideas for a custom dash for my 46 Merc. I think a 40 Ford or 40 Merc dash would look cool with proper customizing, but I would like to see any ideas that have been done

 

How about a 49-50 ford dash?.You can still find parts for them, vs the 40-41 merc., which the plastic is near impossible to find.

 

Have you checked out the '51 Ford dash? That's a pretty neat one too, needs to be shortened a bit though

 

I like them the way they are but it is your vehicle

 

60-64 Corvair, take 4" out of the center

 

I should be picking up a 49-50 Ford shortly ,to put in my 47, if that falls through I do have a 59 Chevy I might use...whatever I do it wont be the ugly original one!

Pontiac dash I put im my buddy Vic's Merc.

 

This is the 49-50 Ford Dash I picked up to use in my OT Sled project.



It had to be narrowed about 9 inches to fit.



Took out about an inch or so to the left of the large main gage bezel in order to get the gage centered on the steering column. Also took out about 4" on either side of the speaker grill to get the width right and save the grill and the clock location. So it could be narrowed and still keep the character of the dash intact.

 

Im doing the 46 dash in a 40 merc. Need some side by side pics?

 

Here is the 59 Chevy dash in my 47 Ford
