How about that chipping-off wrinkle paint? It took YEARS to get that effect!
 
LOL. patina? I likes it. Where'd you pick up that gem; the antiques roadshow?!?
 
OK c'mon everyone. I've laid down the door and you can all come out of the "woodwork" and show us YOUR modified dashboard. All of those of you who have installed all aftermarket gauges, All of those of you who have decided to show your wood/plastic/metal/?ceramic?/paper mache.....you get the idea. Post em up. They can't be worser than mine.:hillbilly:
 
Ok. Here it is. I removed the heater vent and made a place to put my guages, air locker switches, fan switches, and other stuff. Even comes complete with a machined aluminum glove box handle and trash in the trash bag.

I gotta say I like that setup, looks nice!
 
Thanks. After seeing some of the other dash layouts I think mine looks cluttered. Like the dash of a 747.

Aren't we all kinda searchin for that kinda ambiance? Nothing like a well laid out instrument cluster w/o room to spare for a single switch. Cluttered-maybe, clean-yes.
 
Victor, "animaldevictor", in Costa Rica has a wood dash with all the OEM '55 instruments in it. Looks classy. Maybe he'll post a picture for us.

I gotta say the dash from FJ55TLC looks better than the one from Lambcrusher. Cluttered but laid out well.

I think that goes w/o saying!

Animal, that IS a nice mod. I was told so, too. Thank you for posting that pic. The wood takes the place of the padding VERY well.
