George
decided he would like to use a '40 dash. Here's a pretty decent
(other than some surface rust), one to start with.
|
|
At
this point we gave it a trial fit - quite a bit too wide!
|
|
We
decided to take the necessary amount out of the center of the dash.
|
|
At
this point it's back together, and we've started taking off some of the
upper lip. Originally the upper ends of the dash start turning back
up, but on a '32 the upper part of the dash is one big sweeping arch.
|
|
Here
we've modified the ends to flow with the windshield, making the upper dash
one subtle curve from end to end. The ashtray holes are now filled
also.
|
|
Now
we need to fill the center opening in the dash. A piece is made in
the english wheel so it has both a right to left curve and curve top to
bottom.
|
|
Here
the piece has been TIG welded in, and sanded smooth.
|
|
The
finished dash, bolted in. Several mounts were made to bolt it in,
rather than weld it in. This will make painting much easier (along
with wiring, etc).
