Havent updated this in a while, Ive made some progress. Got some 54' ford headlight rings and now thinking of using a 51' ford rear bumper as a front bumper. Does needs some cutting to fit right. Also thinking of doing a 54 dodge grill shape/ opening and a floating grill of some sort.
Anyways heres a teaser of the frontend
Shortened a 51' ford dash by 5 1/2" its not done yet still have to sheet metal the area under the lip. Cut the old dsah out and pushed it outside to get a couple pictures.

stripped the old paint off the dash and got it fitted. then I tack into place and started to fill in the gaps.
Also found the transmission ill be running, picking that up on tuesday. Its a NV3500 from a 4.3 V6 s10 with a Hydraulic clutch.
Anyways heres the pictures of the dash. Also got the center filled with sheet metal. Dash is going to stay smooth the ignition switch and light switch will be mount off to the side under the dash.
Installed for the final time.

Here are the details of the modifications that i made this weekend. First i started to mold the dash in. after that i worked on the door panels to make the dash flow into the doors better, so the dash doesnt look like an after thought. Next i modified the glove box dor so it matches the angle of the dash to again make it flow better.
Heres the pictures
Next I hand formed the door accent panels.
And the veiw thru the back window opening
And now for the glove box modification (hopefully im the first to do this, I think it really helps the dash flow)
Still have to tweak the gaps on the glove box door, still in progress.
What do you guys think?
