Re: Rusted Lower Dash - Any Mod Ideas?

47 dash? I'd say the options are as many as your creative ideas come up with.

You could just cut it off flush with the bottom of the dash and have a straight run across the whole bottom of it.

You could cut it off flush and then make a custom panel for the radio and heat/ac controls and outlets for the ac.

Cut out the rusted area and weld in a filler panel that you created or re purposed. That meaning that those of us who can't shape metal well cut and fit something with the right shape and weld it up to look right.

As long as what you do looks like it belongs there when you get done and blends in as a complete unit with the rest of the build and interior design you options are many.
