'53 Fuse Block Placement

I've got an 18 circuit Painless Wiring kit for my '53, and I'm wondering where most of you guys place your fuse block. I was thinking that up under the dash would seem the best most obvious place.

Under the dash is the logical choice. If you have enough wire, consider putting it on the passenger side. It gets pretty crowded on the left side by the steering column. I have heard that some put it under the seat, but I have not tried that.

The left side is best for one major reason, which may not apply in your case....the reason is that many of the wire lengths assume a left side mounting, and may not be long enough if moved.

I mounted a few of these around one of the parking brake bolts, where it is up and won't be kicked around.
