I don't recall what size the socket was, but I tried different sizes in the dash prior to cutting it in order to see which one fit the contour of the factory stamped contours. |
Re: Purists Look Away... I'm Cutting the Dash!
I would rather keep the stock look but the previous owner went to town using tin snips on my dash. I was going to buy a replacement piece to weld in, but seeing how you did yours (and how clean it looks) I think Ill have to do the same..... So thanks for the idea

Re: Purists Look Away... I'm Cutting the Dash!
MRhino.. What did u do to your heating duct to get it in..

Re: Purists Look Away... I'm Cutting the Dash!
I really like the look of it! I may have to do this on my next project truck. The ductwork would need a little reworking but nothing terrible-you can easily mod that part-the result of which with no change in how much air is moving would be much higher air output at each corner because of more restriction-but that IMO is an okay tradeoff.
But what happens in 5 years when monitor sizes are twice what they are now? Lol I can see somebody laying out the passenger side dash at an angle for a 17" monitor! Lol |
