Lower dash extension

For anyone interested; I added a couple pictures
of my dash extension. Only have to prime, paint, then add guages & radio and install. Progress!

Gary...

nice work... looking at the pictures first vrs last... the first shots seem to show the extension straight down from the dash... but the later pics look like the extension will tilt up some now... change in plans or optical illusion...

either way it's gonna look sharp... I'm gonna do something...but across the whole dash length... will incorporate a/c vents, probably radio and gauges too...

good job

John

Thanks, John, I guess it was an optical illusion as I pretty much coppied
the original stock column angle.

Hi Gary, Very nice job on extension!

John, Don,t do as I did and mount the ignition switch in a slanted dash ext. I have to pad my door lock key or take it off the ring to keep it from chipping paint.

Hey, stewart68, When I here the word "snazzy", I think, Boy, This guy has to be as old as I am. But that would be impossable `cause no one with this hobbie could be as old me. Then again the one great thing about this hobbie is, it sure makes you feel young.
