    I tried posting this over on the main board and have gotten very little response so someone suggested I post it here and maybe I would get more responses

    Hey everyone, tried doing some searching through the site and haven't had alot of luck finding anything. I just picked up a '55 Ford Mainline and am planning to build it as a 60s Kustom.

    After some recent talks I been thinking about switching out the dash to something with alittle more chrome.

    If anyone has any pictures or ideas please let me know

    Maybe you could get one of these to work. I guess it just depends on how much work you want to put into it. I think I like the Chrysler best.

    I really like that '56 Buick dash and how it already has the AC vents in what would have been the dash extensions/dog legs of the '55-'56 Ford dash.

    '55-'56 Mercury dash and steering wheel would look great and would take little work to put it in.

    They are much fancier than the Ford dash and wheel.
