Re: Dash???

Great advice from both of them. If I had some old gauges that were too far gone to use I'd use those to fit things up. Cut, fit, trim, tack check, adjust, weld, finish. All with a whole lot of patience and if it becomes work go do something else. I found out the hard way years ago that the moment working on your project becomes stressful it is time to stop and go do something entirely different. If you are stressed out you usually end up doing the same step two or three times to fix what you screwed up the first time.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
