I would have liked a video of how you built that lower dash section and how you built it. Bending that sheet metal is a mystery to me. I'm still learning to use a hammer and dolly.
Looking forward to more postings and lots more pictures.

I love how you refer to yourself as newbie and yet have 1700+ posts!! Lol. I love sharing and detailing how I do things in hope it helps or inspires others. I didn't take a video of the lower dash panel, however I would be more than happy to take some detail pics and even a video showing what and how I made it. I don't have any fancy equipment beyond a sheet metal break from Harbor Freight among other tools. On my last build I made a radiator close out panel and bent it around my floor jack handle as it was the perfect radius. I have spent my entire career in the collision/restoration/hot rod building industry. So maybe I have a leg up as this is what I have always done. But at the end of the day I'm just a humble fat guy that plays with hot rods in his garage.

I'm thrilled that you like how I did the tank. If you need more pics to help out I will gladly share more with you. To me that's what these forums are all about.
