    The folks at Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle in Addison, IL have fitted the 66 Mustang dash into my ePup! It looks very cool. See some pix below.

    We bought a repop 66 Mustang dash and widened about 8.5". I had to separately source the glovebox cover and hinge (only available used) and a bunch of switches, the ashtray and slider mechanism (used only) and the dash cluster.

    Of course, the nice thing about using a Mustang dash is the plethora of parts that are available. I bought a Dakota Digital cluster from Summit which you can see in the pix below.

    We had to tilt the dash back so that the gauges were visible from the rather upright driving position of the Econoline. The consequence of that is the ashtray kind of comes out an angle. I'm not too concerned about this.

    You're going all out on this build. I love it, it looks great. I love the sheet metal work involved. Or is it fiberglass? :beer cheers emoticon: !
