Custom Dashes... show yours

[Cal_gecko]

I've got a 71 Dart Swinger, but am putting a dash from a 72 A-Body in it, in favor of the different gauge cluster. During the process of re-doing the car, I will probably NOT be running a heater, or heater/fan controls.. considering blocking off the heater controls. Have any of you guys done something like this? I'm sure some of you have customized your dashes... show what you've done!

There's a pic of mine at the demonDIN webpage.
My winter project was and still is backlighting the switch plate legends on the rallye panel.
It's about 75% complete today. Stay tuned

anyone have a dash with NO (simulated) wood trim panels on it? I'm considering not putting it back on my dash, and welding up the holes where it all went in favor of a non-trim look.... not sure if it'll work or not though

Original heater delete car but the factory block off plate looked kinda wonky so I welded it up and stuck some toggles in there.

Here's one in Burl........and one in real Cherry Wood veneer...........They're a PAIN to do right, but worth it in the end.

Andrew - HOLY COW .. .that's like KITT! I like how you put the vents in the dash ... I was considering getting rid of my heater controls (since I'm not hooking up the heater core) and fan... but thinking about the fact that I might like to have some air movement (even if I don't have a heater) ... might be nice... I like what you did!!

First of all "KIT" was not a MoPar, secondly if thats what I wanted to build I would take some of the stuff out of my minivan!
Thanks for the kudos

Dude, I would love to raid an old military aircraft junk yard for all the cool gadgets.

Actually CG there is a little more to the dash display, there are turn signals, a "Locked" light and an indicator for the LASER jammer.
