Awesome build!! I'm actually resurrecting a 72 Standard and I've done alot of mods very similar to yours. Ditched the dash pad, even cut my seat backs and went with early 60 covers. Just waiting on getting my new beam to drop it and hopefully I can start driving it soon.

Keep it up! Can't wait to see whatelse you got in the works.

thanks. i shoot for clean and simple. being a fun historic takes care of the rest.

managed to take 2nd in ac at VAGfair last weekend

looks good bud. love the dash

i put a a little dash cubby in the old radio slot thats wired to an ipod ihome in the glovebox. Left the ac slot above the glovebox unfilled and the music is more than loud enough out of the fake speaker slot ha. modern flare i guess you could call it but still a nice vintage style clean metal dash

Do you need a boat license to drive this? The steering wheel looks humongous in these photos.
I like it though.

dash is about 6" tall, framed with the steering wheel it messes with you. Wheel is 15" even smaller than OEM.

although i do have a boaters license...

Good work man! If you happen to come by a spare running bug motor give me a shout, I might need one fo my project, haha.

This thing is beautiful. Bugs always pull at my heart strings lol wanted one since I was little. But now being 6'2" and 325 lbs I don't think it would be very comfortable.

Love this a lot, simple and clean.
