Dash to small and too many Gauges, My Fix!
I had a small problem, I wanted too many gauges but didn't have enough 'dash' to put them in. I wanted no heater, no radio, no ash tray (Switches will go in a panel where the ashtray was), just the stripped down car (light weight) a built motor, tranny and rear. Well I have a bored and stroked 416 from a 340, a strong 727 and a narrowed 48" Currie Ford 9" Nodular with 4:11's and a locker.
Back to my dash problem.
1) These are the Gauges I am putting in the "Dash", all Autometer. (The Tach will mount on top the dash)
2) The Stock dash, not near enough room.
3,4) Took the Dremel to two of them.
5) Putting, glue/welding two end to end.
6) Cutting the DASH to fit.
7) How the gauges are going in.
Not finished yet but this will give me what I want.
I will probably glue,weld in a piece on sheet platic to mount the gauges in and for strength and intend to use a 'Wrinkle' finish paint on the dash bezel insert.
I know, I know, I'm not too good at posting pics and such, but I think you get the idea!
Yes, MEK glue and fileings for 'filler'
