Guy's the street dash is right, the way the Kirkhams have it. It does shift over a little bit towards the driver's side. The difficulty lies in trying to bend over the 90% edge with compound curves and not stretching the metal too much, warping or "coke canning" the metal. My dash was made for an original car and it really takes an artist to make one right. David's dash's are A LOT more cleaner than mine was due to the water jets and possibly stamping out the bends. Mine was hand formed and had to have taken hours to finish! These are incredible deals! I would get the gauges cut out as some of mine didn't "look" right sitting outside the car but once your in the car they're right! Some of the gauges seemed to be a little offset but they're right. The HARDEST part was the glove box door! I like mine BUT man was it a PIA to put in!! I do like the street dash but the FIA dash is pretty easier to work with. Good Luck! Matt
