Cool man,certainly different and the "Nissan" adds an even cooler touch to it.

[WALDO]

Looks good. I say finish it out and paint it gloss black. :)

Looking good! Whats the dash out of?

[tobysan90]

the dash is out of a 1958 chevrolet apache truck, and i was thinking about painting it gloss but want that old feel of rust and stock paint

[tobysan90]

i would say fab a piece of metal that comes off the new dash to cover the old vinyl one. The just cut slot in the metal. Other than that it looks good

[tobysan90]

we going to try and make a panel like that plus make some for the sides, i just got the underside mounting brackets made and bolted it in to make it to the show:nana2:

[nissansxsr20det]

looks good, ill look for it at laydout

[tobysan90]

it will be white/green flake on top flat black on bottom on stock chrome wheels so just look and holla at me

[nissansxsr20det]

k mine will be primered like an olive green color on z71

maybe put one or two coats of flat on there and sand back through to the metal in a couple of places?:o jus a thought, i kinda like that look when its done right--which is difficult

[tobysan90]

i know its not really updates on my dash, but got my old school:rofl2: "short":rofl2: shifter installed and the hood scoop and my pit bike painted white with green flake and green pearl, let me know what you think

Love the shifter! Whats on the glove compartment?

[84nissan720]

hood lookz badass and the dash o and the lil shifter

[HARDBODYNV]

what kind of cowl is that

[tobysan90]

the thing on the glove box is a old tube of sunscreen that my dad put there since i dont have the latch, so he made a old school/ratrod fix. And the hood is a full fiberglass one that i traded for a couple years back
and thanks for the compliments guys:nana2:

[tobysan90]
