  1. Kinda wonderin what it will look like....where ya trim /what you save etc etc......
    I have a darned nice one. [and no other dash] as of yet to use....so ........I am gonna use the 47 Lincoln column[auto shifter] and 47 Linc steerin wheel ,so I think its keepin things in the same vein.
    ANYONE HAVE A PIC?-THANKS IN ADVANCE.......

    sumthin' like this? This is from one of Abomber30's projects. I dont think he ended up using it. Didn't quite suit his artistic tastes [​IMG]

    I personally think it would look best with the glove box. If anyone cares.

    Nope, that dash in Bleed's roadster is a Mercury and the one in the new ride is made from a 50 Ford grille.

  12. I think mine is a 50. Just started playing with it yeterday and it should fit just fine with lots of trial and error... I want the speedo in the centre of the dash...

    Kenny...Wideglide 74 posted a photo of my 50 dash in my 33 pickup. I removed 16" right outa the center but that left my insturment cluster offset to the right.
    If you wanted to keep you insturments centered behind your steering wheel, you'd be better off removing a slice from the left of the cluster...maybe get rid of your heater control area and then remove the rest from the right of the cluster and deep-six the stock radio hole. That would leave you with your glove box and center your cluster. Plus, the slices you'd have taken out would all be where the hoizontal lines run parallel to each other....the perfect place to remove and splice metal. It could look kick*** with some new stainless perforated metal for the insert... DO IT!
