Or one hell of a nice sealed subwoofer enclosure ........

I was thinking 6 12'' woofers and three big flatscreen tv's.
But for now, pan'd...

The dash is from the skin off the 65 roof. I used a real split dash to make a paper outline. Then hammered it out,
thats how i did the rear fenders too.

im gonna suggest some duct's from under the car by the torsion tube, to the eng compartment, for some more air. and a berg temp dipstick to monitor oil temp with no gauges.

You HAVE to post pictures of the dash making process. That looks like mighty impressive work.

You should start repoing split dashes. :lol:

There are some pictures of the dash in progress in my gallery.
I might make some split dash skins then. Thats a good idea... i had a hard time finding one when i started this project. Thats why i made one.

thats awesome! just found the thread of this thing.. i love the idea! 8) 8) 8)

I saw the pictures and understand you made a template and cut out the holes but how did you "fold" the metal so the holes don't have a sharp edge?

Had me fooled with that! I really thought that was a real split dash graft. This is getting more and more interesting.

You pop out some sick stuff !!!. Definately rock the small roofrack you have in the sketch!. I'd buy a split dash skin from you for a project of mine.

Clark Kustoms Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:24 am

I dont think i'll have time to do the roof rack before the classic. It will have to be done after i get back. Its going to be cool though.

Clark Kustoms Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:30 am


Almost done... i like the way it sits...

Clark Kustoms Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:41 am
