I didn't want to loose the styling of the dash, but had to package more than stock would allow. I cut the whole center out and started over. The unpainted area is all new and hand build...then butt welded in. Notice there isn't an ash tray and I moved the head unit up for an easier reach. It's all painted now of course, but will be a while before I install all the parts for the final time. Here's a close up of the work area. I'm sure a pro could have gotten more creative, but I'm happy with it!!
I'm thinking the blue on the harnesses will match the body color well! Got to coordinate!!
