    What do ya think of my dash

     



    Just wanted some input to see what you guys think. I had a sheet of 1/8" copper that was hammered out with good texture on it and wanted to incorporate it in. I still have to mount the speedo and tach on each upper corner and make a few little mount tabs to hold the sides and bottom.

    I like it too. Dashes tend to be pretty boring, but that is very interesting.

    Nice contrast to the steel around it. This is what hot rodding is about, uniqueness and creativity! Nice work!

    Very nice! It has an early roadster look to it. I really like how it naturally flows into the console, rather than looking like an add-on. I'm looking forward to the rest of the build.

    The whole shape gives it an early bomber feel, which is great! i love old planes too. Very nice job.

    Excellent job and a great design-I especially like how it's incorprated into the console-

    Thanks for the nice comments, I get a lot of help and ideas off this site. I haven't tried putting rivets in since I worked at the air museum in 1988 , seems so long ago.
