    Has Anyone Ever Tried Putting A New Style Dash? Lets Say Out Of A 97 Gt Or A V6 For That Matter. If Im Not Mistaken The Measurment From Piller To Piller Is The Same On All Mustang And Maverick Except The Mustang 2/ Pinto Or Whatever You Want To Call It ... All The Way Upuntil They New Body Style 05..

    One of the members put an 80's TBird dash assembly in his car. Very cool! Lots of electronics too.

    You can do just about anything you want if you are determined enough... ;)

    Me? No. The main dash board I used as previously mentioned was from a 1980/81 Thunderbird.

    I wouldn't necessarily say putting a new Mustang dash in a Maverick would be 'easy', based on my experience with the T-bird dash...:)

    You could design and make your own dash.

    The amount of work that has to be involved in Mark's car and that Mustang is making my head hurt. :bouncy:

    Nice job there Mark. I think my jaw hit the desk at least four times. That has to be the most accessory-laden Mav there is.

    And to think ... yesterday I was in the salvage yard and looking at taking the quantum leap to intermittant wipers... after looking at your car, the whole idea seems pretty puny ... :rofl2:

    I think your reaction is the same I had looking at that Mustang. It makes what I did look like crap! :) But hey...he doesn't have fully electronic climate control! (I don't have pics of that on my site yet...)

    One word that comes to mind when I think about all the stuff I did to my Maverick....wires...lots of wires... :)

    Two questions:

    1) What issue was this article in, June 2008?

    2) Does anybody know if the interior dimensions of a Maverick are the same as a 1969 Mustang?
