The new challenge was redesigning the dash. I wanted to simplify the design but still keeping the original clocks. I started by welding all the holes shut, which really looked messy and front inside the bonnet looked like a total mess. I also extended and drill the steering rod housing and made a new holding bracket

so not being happy with the first attempt I cut it out and welded in a new one piece plate

got trimmings back from the platters...


Finally it was time to test fit all the beading, clock etc.

I wanted to run oil temp and pressure gauges but not on or under dash, so I cut and welding brakets into the inner roof section next to the rear view mirror
