thank cliff
started on the dash today, i am converting this tub to look like a pre-a (around 1954/55) lots of changes to the body, smaller window's, deeper sills, different nose panel, different fenders, rear lights etc... so in keeping with the changes, i started on the dash. it's not going to be a replica period dash because i don't have one to copy, so this is going to be made by memory and a picture i have lol.
marking out from the centre
i bent the panel in the slip rolls, ran it through the wheel to get some crown in the top half, then started to hammer out the centre section, like the original has.
just roughed out the clocks and glove box area, doubt they will be this big though
thanks for watching
this is the picture i have to work from, i think i can get close to it...
