Tonight we installed the full dash. Mostly everything is wired (I crossed it of the list!) and the radio was finally mounted and secured, so we decided to cram it all in there and call it done.
Here is a picture of before:
And here is our finished dash. I want to punch someone I am so happy.
Just in case your wondering how old that speedometer is - here is the stamp when it left the factory.
1946. That means that it was made completely America just one year after WWII ended (in the middle of a baby boom I'm sure). The economy was probably kicking into full steam and industry was alive in America. The man who made it was probably as old as my great-grandfather or younger and may have had his very own Chevy Stylemaster. Now we have it, it's chopped to hell, but we love it just the same.
