Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

ok, getting this thread back to the top.......the vettes dash was gonna be modded to fit this dash, but after looking at it and measureing the curved peices look good on the vette dash cause its small.....put the same curved peices on a truck dash, and they look small.....so keeping with that look im gonna make my own dash outta metal......so after cutting the dash appart, i welded in a filler peice for the whole dash, then bent up some tube stock round bar......to get the skelaton on the dash.....

Would a 61-63 GM truck dash not work for your goal? Seems it would be an easier fabrication.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I always look forward to the updates on this build. Cool mods going on!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

yea, easier, but not quite what we want to do.....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Quality work being done here. Keep it up.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got some loose ends wraped up, completed the capped wire gutter, and also started to shave the drip rail.....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

very interesting concept... are the window defrost holes not centered on the original dashes? Are you gonna fill them in too?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

not sure bout the defrost vents being sysmetrical, but they will be filled in and smoothed.....if you look carefully in the center of the dash i have a center line (in red) for my reffrence...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Looking nice.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got the steering column in, its a ididit tilt, column shift, chrome, one... the mounting positon had to be slighly moved over, do to the underdashed brake setup... to do away with the bungy cord, the upper part of the column mounting bracket was made from a portion of exhaust tubeing..... here is the pics...

Ooooh.....It's soooo shiny.......:cool:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I have a question about the mount on the fire wall side of the column. Where did ya get it and can it be used on a regular stock column?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

i got it from summit racing....they are called a steering column bulkhead, the one i got is 2.25" round... but you can get them in 2" diamater too (stock column OD size).

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Looks like it's coming along nicely.

I'm diggin the dash too.
