Changing the dash on my 87 Autokraft MkIV Cobra

I didn't do the welding on the lower edge, but I did everything else, including the glovebox 'lid'.
There are pictures on my build thread if that approach appeals to you.

That sounds very interesting indeed and could be a great way to go. Could you PM me a link to you build thread. I would love to have a look at it.

Sure, Andrew. See link at the bottom of this post.
Other detail about the dash panel (including the leather covering and the glovebox) is there in later pages.

Cheers!

Thanks Glen

What a lovely car. Some amazing work done there. Was a great read

I noticed on your dash the two main clocks are level. I have seen this on one other COB but of all others I have seen, the main dials are 'offset' (see below) which I tend to prefer.

Why did you choose to have them level?
