1961 dash wall art..lol

Bought a junky bbw cab for $200 couple years ago, finally pulled the bbw part out and beforeni hauled the cab away for scrap I figured id salvage the dash. Hung it on the wall all rusty but said na, let me paint it. Its still curing now, what do ya think? Gonna hang it back up tomorrow. Wanted to do it red but all I had was chevy orange lol

Re: 1961 dash wall art..lol

Now you need to complete the rest of dash with a radio and trim, and then add an MP3 player and run it through an amp and have tunes for the garage!

I would put two small speakers where the ashtray and heater controls used to be. That thing looks very cool. I dig the Orange even better than if it were red.
