now ive started somthing..........

Since you have no dash at all, you could take the opportunity to make something truly custom. You can even change the height of the dash to fit more instruments in front of you. Your only limit is your imagination and skill level. Think of using steel or aluminum; you can do a lot more with these materials than you can do with wood. Check around inside this website. Some guys have done some cool things with their dashes.

As for myself, my plans are to increase the height of my 'Cuda dash and continue it down to a custom console. I plan to build it somewhat like the cockpit of a 1950s Lockheed Constellation. I plan on chucking the stock dash pad and making one from vinyl and built-up foam stuffing, just like in the airliner.
