My 57 build (lots of pictures)

Looking more and more like a solid brand new Cab.
Keep up the awesome work

I've been looking down at the dash and forgot about the rust I needed to fix above the windshield. So today I cut it out and guess what I found. I couldn't figure how it rusted up there and so high until I opened it up. Mouse hotel. Burning mouse nest STINKS. I'm glad it's not as bad or as fresh as Diesel's. I welded up 3 small spots that poked through on the outside and will replace the 2 strips across the inside.

Ok, here are a few ideas I've been playing with for the bottom of the dash and console. What do you guys think?

My buddy suggested I use the top edge of the old dash on the bottom. I mocked up some of the leftovers I had and this is what I have come up with. I spray bombed to help with the visualization.
With the console coming out of the radius.


With the console meeting the dash below the radius. I am kind of leaning toward this one. I might twist the right side of the console up higher than the left so it tilts toward the driver.



The other idea is to cut and drop the bottom of the dash 3~4". Don't laugh at my crude MS paintbrush skills. The console would fit in kind of the same way to the bottom edge.
