We've
decided on using an original Plymouth gauge panel - we've always loved
this panel, with one exception. The speedo is on the wrong side. It
would look so much better if it were on the left, with the gauges on the
right. So we're going to fix this, and Classic Instruments will again
work their majic and make the panel shine. It's apparent in this photo
the size difference between the factory hole and panel. We'll fix this
with the the goal of keeping the dash looking as original as possible.
We've started by cutting
the lower dash section out and separating the panel opening.
A section has been added
between opening for the additional width.
The opening now needs to
be opened up for height difference.
We're getting closer,
having added a section for the additional height
The opening is done, we
now just need to add it back to the dash.
The section is tacked
back in, now just finish weld and sand.
All finished with
the dash, now to remake a panel for the actual gauge swap and it's
off to Classic Instruments for a complete overhaul.
