was planing on doing the frame today but its to hot and muggy so i decided to play with the dash i don't like the 53-55 dash and the stock cluster is shifted to the right about an inch or so to keep it a f100 I'm looking at the 56 cluster i got a hammer out and some scrap 16g sheet i wish i had some 18

this is just a test look to see if i like it or not

thanks all i can say just go for it i have never done anything like this so I'm doing a lot of extra work plus doing most of wrong with lot of guessing but I'm having fun and learning

my biggest fear beside cutting something up and realize you can't fix it is when finish it will look wrong or off

i wish i had a local shop or club i can go to for advice but living in a small town makes it hard
