The 1947 Dodge Build
Got all the gauge bezel pieces mocked up in place as well as the center speaker/switch bezel and the glove box with the built in matching bezel for the clock. I guess I will have to live with the clock being recessed under the bezel where the 2 other gauges drop through the bezels and are secured with spin locks. Speedhut does not do a 4 inch clock; I suppose I could order their 2 & 5/8 clock, gut the factory clock and install the Speedhut clock. Thoughts?
There is a small 3 inch by 1 inch space between the two small bezels that are between the larger two that will be perfect for Dakota Digital’s DGS-12 LED automatic transmission shift indicator panel (not yet bought). The empty hole next to the speedometer is for the radio. Switches for Headlight, panel lights, wiper, windshield washer, factory map light and anything else will be installed in the lower switch area of the center speaker panel. Am now undecided whether to just paint the dash (leaning towards black) or spend the bucks to get it woodgrained along with at least the windshield molding. If anyone following along has any thoughts on this, let me know.
