I never could really see my gauges and speedometer well before. The steering wheel was always in the way and blocked some of the gauges no matter where I positioned it. My dash is on hinges so I unbolted it and added a wood 1x4 frame to lift it up 3 1/2" higher. The wiring was long enough. My "test drive" results are very positive! I can see all the gauges and the speedo perfectly. All at the same time! It's not so high it blocks any of the road. I'm going to lower it a bit so that I only will have raised it 2 1/2 inches then cover the wood with matching carpet I have left over fro the remodel.
interesting solution but are the dash and wood frame both bolted back to the frame? wondering if you'll have the dashboard coming at ya in the event of a panic stop or a crash.
In a panic stop or foward crash, anything loose is going to go forward, not back towards the occupants.
