maybe she was the mystery driver in Marks Hemi Barracuda when it got weighed for the PA state inspection..someone weighed only 111 lbs......and that definatley eliminates Mark....

Got a few parts back from the media blaster and then epoxy primed, started fitting the ultra cool Hotchkis hood pins. The bottom 1/2"-20 nut will be welded to the bottom side of the fender since these are 73' fenders and dont have the proper access hole. The radiator/fans and trannsmission cooler are mocked up, I tried to hide the mounting points and avoid the typical side tab mount. Finally I decided to make an adjustable dash mounting jig so I can fully assemble it on the bench while keep it from flexing at the same time.

Dude, I love you. Your the only person I know that would weld together a stand to hold his dash..........

Still on this side of the dirt member
I was also thinking the 'dash jig/stand' was pretty creative..

The dash stand is a great Idea Ross. Will make assembly much easier than trying to assemble in the car.

Ring Brothers makes a set for Mustangs with curved hoods....might work for you and they look like the Hotchkis, just a thought.
I'll check them out, thanks.

Dont worry there 100% factory Hotchkis, although I will be modifying them a little...mostly changing the colors to go better with my theme.

Thanks, I have to admit I was watching Junkyard Carz, and noticed they were completely assemblying a dash on a stand and I decided to make one real quick that will sit on top of a workbench....also will be great for painting and all the Modifications I plan on doing to the dash.

You should make a few more and sell them. I would buy one.

Since I'm following your build there's no doubt that you could build one fairly easy. If my car was done I would consider building the dash stand along with several other little gadgets I've come up with over the years.

Yeah I probably could but you've already done the hard part.

Well the painter stopped by today and looked over all the recent changes and modifications and we decided in about 2-3 weeks it will going to his place for the next 4-5 months....I have a few small things to finish up first, it's gonna be weird having it gone after almost 2 years of working on it but it's time to end my modifications and get to the shiny pretty paint. Woo Hoo.... :wav:

Actually I'll do a quick test fit (I don't know why) and then put it with all the other parts I've gathered to get installed once it's all pretty and shiney ....(after powder coating). Colors are staying the same. Trim might be getting a twist or two.
