    If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’d better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

    I just did it in my 84 Coupe. I dont have any good pics or any complete pics yet, but it is a pretty involved swap. Alot of test fitting/trimming. And it has to be nice and solid as teh steering coluum bolts to the dash and not the firewall like on a fox.I'll get some more pics tomorrow.

    Its a pain, but looks awesome from any angle. Even non-car people ask about it just cause of the roundness in a fox does look right.

    Oh and depending on where you cut say buh bye to the defroster, or you can't open the doors from inside. I kept the defrost, and trimmed my door handles.....too bad I have crank up windows that don't work any more!

    That looks good thats exactly what i was hopin itd look like good job on that i bet it was a pain in the ... for sure. I wonder if u can adapt a shorter throw on ur cranks to be able to use them or do they hit too far into the dash to even consider that? Hard to tell from the photos.Regardless looks good if nothing else couldswap in some electric windows i suppose.Good Job man on the dash.

    No problem Im going to be running 96 seats in my 85 as soon as the carpet comes in so I can finish the interior.

    Good Idea n shortening the widow cranks! They actually almost clear behind thew dash, just the knob hits. I think they have some street rod short handles out there too.

    Hehe, im such a cheater i have power windows shouldnt be as bad on the functionality of it all for me, but all in all i really like that everyone ive shown your pics of the dash too said theyd like to do it. I found a 94 with title issues a guy is parting out gonna try to wrangle the dash away from him.
