Smile Dash

Hey Guys,
Just posted some pic`s of my latest project, a new main dash.
It`s not finished yet (duh) but at least its a start. So far so good.
Have not decided on turn signal lights or high beam light yet.
So, let me know what you think. Thanks
Gary

Looking good Gary. Combined with your dash extension/steering wheel it realy personalizes your truck. Lots of good pics in your gallery. Thanks for sharing them.

Cool looking. Did you move the steering column? Or was it there and you replaced the column support with the dash extension? Either way, great work.

Looks good and I like those gauges. I'm curious about that 3 or 4 inch hole by the glove box, is that where the original radio went. I've never seen one.

You guessed it - the lower dash extension replaced the column
support. Made it much easier.

The hole is where the original radio went - I have since installed
a Classic Instrument clock in the "hole". I thought I posted a picture
of the clock.

Doc,
The color is electric current red. It`s a early `90s Ford color.
