We're putting a '40 dash in George's 5
window. Modifications had to be made to
make it fit.
Here's a shot of the dash after all of the modifications have been
completed. It's been blocked several times and is ready for paint.

|
It's going to be yellow and white.
First the entire dash was painted white. We will now mask off the
areas to be left white and paint the rest yellow. |
|
Here's a shot after the yellow and clear has
been sprayed. It's been sanded and polished, and is ready to be put
back together. |

Here's a picture of the dash with the gauge
panel, custom knobs and speaker grill. Classic made the gauge panel
for us, using the same look of a '40 but with our fonts, colors and
George's Camel Toe Racing Logo. It's a real trick piece. Also,
Dennis Crooks from Steering Wheel Restorations made us the smaller '40
wheel and dash knobs. We turned a pattern for the knobs and he made
them to match in yellow and white plastic with a stainless ring as a
divider |
|
This is the prototype knob we sent Dennis.
From here he made molds and worked his magic! |
|
Here's a side shot of the knobs Dennis made.
They are just sitting on the dash right now (the switches are not yet
mounted). They will be straight once everything is completed. |
|
With the custom made wheel, it should be
pretty striking when completed! |
