a few new things...

[98COBRA281]

so on thanksgiving night i took a ride in the car, well the hood wasent latched and flew up taking out the windsheild, and the 2 back points on the hood stabbed the dash.

so i got the windsheild fixed, and it was fully covered by insurance.

so i searched for a black dash with out a clock, had no luck finding one, so i bought a 99+ charchoal dash in mint condion! so i dyed it with SEM color coat, and it came out perfect!

perfect color match!

started taking the dash out today

and while its apart i picked up an automoter 3 pod pillar, and will be useing my autometer phamtom, oil pressure, water temp, and narrrow band AFR.

before, 2 pod rivited to the stock pillar...

the autometer pillar

and i bought a 97 cobra cluster

Sucks about that happening but nice work so far. That higher redline on the tach is more relevant to what you're spinning that thing to and white gauges are where it's at.

thanks! i was sick when that happended to the windsield, and thats exactly why i got the cobra cluster! the 6k red line looked funny when i spin it out to 7k.

A lot of work to get rid of the clock. Could have turned the clock into gauges.

If I had a bad arse Stang like that I would have that Saleen dual gauge cluster on the dash.


Looks sick though mang, love the car.

Sucks about the hood, but nice work fixing everything

 

[Night Shifter]

im guessing the hood didnt come all the way back onto your roof cause your cowl is so big?

either way that sucks and im glad you got it fixed

 

[Kornnut]

Dash swaps in our cars are fun lol.

 

[98COBRA281]

the cowl stopped it from hitting the roof! and it did not damage the hood at all!

A lot of work to get rid of the clock. Could have turned the clock into gauges.

i never had the clock, and the stock dash had holes drilled in it from a tach the previous owner installed, then it got damaged when the hood came up. thats the only reason im changing it.

That sure sucks about the windshield! Dash is looking good....but really..WTF are the stock leather seats still doing in there Loose some weight and get some stock cloth's or some racing seats haha

 

[N8Dogg98]

Wow, nice job man looks good. The damage certainly could have been worse.

I had something similar happen to me. I was working on my car outside when I lived in North Dakota. For those of you that don't know its always f'n windy up there. Anyways, a gust came and slammed my hood back into my windshield. The windshield glass broke and the hood snapped in half I was super pissed...
