I bought a 59 pickup dash for my 51 today, because I was impressed with your adaptation, and I have a few questions. I love the AD pickups, but the dash doesn't really appeal to me, and I love the 55-59 dash, especially with the ends wrapped onto the doors.
It appears that you have welded the wrap around ends to the door panel, which then makes the window surround trim impossible to remove. How did you engineer that so the window surround can be removed?
Are you eliminating the rubber weather stripping that seals the inside of the door to the door jamb?
Thanks,
