well guys i hope you like it

1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL dash and gauges.




it sat up too high for me. so i had to drop it. im going to graft it onto the doors and panels also, so i didnt want it to be too high abouve the window



cut the column hole out some to allow it to drop about an inch or so



i wanted to keep my defrost. so i cut the crap out of my stock top piece. making fillers inside the truck to keep those 4 screws alligned



i like the way i did this. i think it looks cool



much better



and i had to extend the drivers side 5/8"s




the gap by the door, i will be making it flow onto the doors. but thats later on. i think its comin out pretty good so far

dude... your imagination is inventive... who would have thought to install that one?!

I'm looking to make a steel dash for my 88 (getting rid of the pleather... possibly wrapping the steel when I'm done) and this has pretty much sold me on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
