Replacing a flat 67 dash onto a 69 2000...
Hello everyone.., Shamus here.., as I delve into this new world of roadsters., I find that I like the flat dash with the toggles. It seems more nostalgic to me. The foam dash of the 69 doesn’t do it for me. I want to change the dash into the flat dash.. Would this be difficult to do?? New gauges. New toggles., I just figure I should just go with flat dash. I know I would enjoy the look more especially once I finish the makeover. Your opinions and comments please.

Been there Done That. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=17915 It's not a simple nor inexpensive process. Going from push-pull to toggle switches for head lights and wipers was a challenge. Cannot realistically use late gauges, would be best to upgrade to modern electronic ones. A lot of wiring to be done. If you are willing to accept the challenge, I'd be happy to assist with input and/or helpful hints. P.S. I do have a decent, bare, early dash to help you get started.

The defroster system and heater controls are the biggest challenge. Now that late defroster vents are being reproduced, I would be adapting them to the early dash. You can also use your push pull switches if that doesn't distract too much for you.
