Re: 1940 dash replace

I got the dash painted a week ago when I did the chin and baffle. This last weekend I wet sanded and buffed the dash. I polished the chrome, installed the switches, wired all of the switches so it is ready to hooked up when I put the dash in the truck. I installed the glove box door/clock assembly and then rewired the original lamp sockets and wired the clock. So now I am down to building the dash cluster. This is going to be a bit more difficult then I had planned. I have my brother working on a new plastic lens for the cluster and I am working on the panel behind the plastic and mounting the gauges. the pic is the original cluster, I have a different bezel that is undamaged that I have polished out and I will reuse the back mounting plate with some modifications. I think the rest of the dash came out awesome and I am looking forward to driving time soon.
