Got 'er bent tonight. Got it roughed into the dash cover. Still rough but close enough that I know it will fit. The right wing is 1/2" longer than the left wing, so angles are different. I think I got it purdy' close though. Next is to cut the contour in the fiberglass for the oversized tach & speedo.
{that's a relief}

way cool Gary - nice work!

Wow,,,very Cool job! That was pretty cool to follow along with Pro. Thanks!

Thanks Doc, Perry, Rapid. Got a ways to go, but most of the tricky stuff is done now.

Got a little further on the dash today. I made plugs out of PVC to form the gauge wells, since these gauges are too big for the original bezel opening.

I did the kitty hair "form the bezel to the dash deal" again. Used vinyl & spray Pam as a release agent.

I welded some strap aluminum to the top & bottom to stiffen up the bezel & to provide a place for rubber mounting grommets.

Got the bezel just setting in place. It's being held in by the dash bar. Close enough to see what it'll look like.

wow.. you need to write a how-to book Gary..

Excellent...engineering, planning, application, style. Perfect, man...WC1

Good job Gary!! Thats gonna look sweet in there!

Thanks Everybody. I got a chance to work on the "Z" for awhile today.
Got the dash bezel mounted. It was a pain since I had to tack weld the mounts in with the dash cover in place to keep the bezel in the right location. But, I got-r-done. Might work on the steering column next.
