Soooo, I pulled the rearend out of my frame and got it back to the shop for them to make it right. Their first attempt narrowing it was off by just under five inches. After multiple phone calls and texts showing exactly how much was needed they still got it wrong. After today's visit it should be right very soon! Finally I'll get to see how the body will look sitting on that sweet frame with the wheels on.

I am sorry if I missed it but what rear end are you using?

The 55 Bel Air dash is a little smaller than what I thought, time to widen it!!!

I determined the best way to cut it and took the leap!

The dash told me what to do after cutting it, made some matching panels to fill the holes.

The final product came out pretty good for my first dash to widen. Fill in the excess holes and cut the sides off to mount on the doors. Overall it was widened 9.5 inches.

Not normally my cup of tea, but that dash swap is sweet!

gringoloco · 11-02-2017, 09:58 AM

That looks killer!

**youngrodder** · 11-02-2017, 10:53 AM

The dash looks great. Sometimes you need to start cutting and figure it out as you go. You can only stare at something for so long.

I like the look of it...

I think the front is 5.5 since I am running narrowed a-arms. The rear end is about 4, the most backspace I could get with a narrowed rearend. Thanks for the compliments!

Dead in the water! Family comes first. Lost my dad in November and just had to put my mom in a memory care facility. I'll get back on it soon.

Thanks brotha! Gotta keep that fire lit somehow. I am hoping to get the body on the frame for fitment this weekend and of course that means body panels to see how it looks.
