Thanks Ron. Those are way different. I'll figure it out, not worried about it yet, got a ways to go before I'm worried about the interior.

Just a bit of an update, I am moving my dropping it off at the painter's date up by a couple of months due to me having to drive north a bit early anyway. It won't accelerate the completion date (that I know of ) but will prevent me from making another trip. So next Friday the car takes a long trailer ride north. So the progress pictures will pretty much come to a stop for the year unless I start working on other parts for spring. But that will probably wait with some other things in the works.
Cool KB . . . G'luck with your drive up North ! ! Hope that all goes well for you . . . I'm sure it will.
Don't worry about progress, as I'll probably be bugging you about stuff ! ! !

Good luck Kevin with all the other things in the works and your hauling! I had to read that twice, i understand things but you really did surprise me when i seen your not actually painting it yourself! You did it all is the only reason, i guess i just expected you to say "Getting a paint booth ready" 
Again, Good luck!
Again, Good luck!

Haha. I've got a family friend plus my uncle doing it for what I'd call pennies. I just don't have a place here to do the work or I'd take a crack at it. This kills a couple of birds with the same stone too. It stores it for the winter, gets it painted, and potentially keeps me from hauling it again since we may be moving up there soon....not to mention moving would kill any time I'd get to work on it anyway.Good luck Kevin with all the other things in the works and your hauling!

And . . . how did the interview go ? ! ?

Well no pictures of a pretty car yet; he is scheduled to start on it in January so I have to be patient. But I did take advantage of the holiday madness/pricing to order the gauges for the car.
Speedhut is the brand, GPS speedometer, Tach, Volts, Oil Press, Temp, Fuel.....
Should look a bit like this: (Top is what I ordered, Bottom is another person's car but gives you an idea of how they look at night)

That's pretty cool KB . . . I've been doing some tinkering with my dash too.
Are you going to use your original dash ?
Or do you have plans to re-build it or redesign/reshape it ?
I'm thinking of cutting the dash in the under the dash pad - and permanently mounting it at the windshield so that I'll be able to remove it from the car at a later date and not have to remove the windshield ( who designed that ? ? ) . . . at least that's a thought that I've been toying with here lately . . .

I am pretty much just going to cut out the center of the plastic bezel, jbweld a plate in there, do some body work to make it look nice and put in the gauges. It should look pretty good when I get done. No special plans to change up the steel of the dash. I actually really like the shape of the dash the way it is. I prefer the deluxe dash to the higher end models too so that helps.
I'd say just leave your dash alone for the removable part unless you are going to weld in a flange to bolt it all together and have the flanges overlap. I don't see too much reason you would need to remove the whole dash later once you get this done but I have been wrong before.

Looking forward to seeing your '67 in paint kb. All that work to get to this point, always cool to see the payoff.

You and me both brother....I had been told he would start in on it around the 1st of the year....so probably a couple more months before I get to see the finished product.
