Dash Extension 1950

Looking at the steel dash extension at Midfifty, anyone use one of these?

I design my own and have them fabricated at a local sheetmetal shop. I have installed them in my 56 F100 and my 40 Ford coupe. Also had a few made for others here locally. If you have a sheetmetal shop in your area you may want to check it out, might save some cash and get a more custom panel.

I bought one from Classic Haulers before they were folded into Midfifty. It does not fit at a 90° angle from the dash. It's at a 45° angle - don't know if its the same as what Midfidty sells but my guess it's the same. I dont like the way it fits so I intend to modify it to fit at a 90° angle from the dash. Sorry no pictures yet.

Thanks for the reply. Just another option I was thinking about installing. Getting ready to put the UPS & Fedex drivers back to work with more part orders. Took 3 months of working on the truck after my running chassis got away from me and went through the neighbors wood fence and broke a hose bib. Lucky I have a good neighbor so I spent a day and a half fixing the water line and fence. She even offered to pay for half of the fence wood but I said I got it. I destroyed my new rear stainless bumper and the new radiator and fan. They only positive thing that came from it is I decided to lose some weight after laying on my fat belly fixing the water line, so far 50 lbs.
