dash it's padded now

OK I'm crusing ebay and I see this mustang dash same year as my efi moter so Im thinkin hey I might be able to use some of the wiring harness out of that.
I bid 50 bucks and win it. Well after paying 150 for shipping errrr! I open it amazed to see It's in pretty good shape. So I start lookin to see what I can use out of it when I realize hey this thing just might fit in there! Six hours later her dash is padded. SWEET! more pics in the gallery

man, I really dont know how you do some of the things you do. I cant really say I like the way it looks now, but I remember looking at your gallery long ago, and thought the same thing about the extra cab. Now I look at it, and think it looks awesome!

Im sure the padded dash, when put all together with the interior and everything else will look awesome too.

Great job, and keep the pics comin!

At first glance, I think I like it. It looks real nice in the one shot you posted. Did the steering column come with it?

I think it looks good, I like the double humps they look like they were made for the truck.

That's a bitchin fit, good thing you didn't do the sectioning thing! Pics 2 & 5 look like the roll on the donor may flow right into original at the door jamb, just a little judicious hammerin and formin. Totally kool!!!

Keith,
You continue to amaze! How about a pic from the back seat? (can't ask just everyone for one of those!)
Looks awesome!

Way cool, Kieth. Great find and an interesting look. The center console looks awsome, and I can't tell from the photos, but will you have to use buckets in the front now?

Keith,
Very nice!!! I don't know how you do it. It looks like it was made for the truck. The double hump dash just adds to the whole batmobile look you got going.

I guess Batman probably had to have had a truck so he could take the occasional load of battrash to the batdump or haul the batboat down to the batlake.....

You never fail to amaze
Bobby

That looks great Keith! You are going to have a dynamite interior to go along with your "wow" truck.

Nice Keith. Your work continues to impress. Six hours! I spent more time than that just trying to get my Rod Doors "Hide-a-vents" installed Thanks for sharing.

PS: What year of Mustang did it come out of? Jag

I don't think you could have made a better choice. And you still get the "56hump". I get the feeling your truck is CCT centerfold bait. Great work again Keith.
