Does anyone remember an article or a picture here on Stovebolt regarding a plywood platform used to make working under the dash a whole lot easier? I've searched and searched but no luck! I wanted to help one of my brothers make something like it. Thanks, Jim

I'm going to have to work under my dash (hopefully soon.) I'll probably leave the seat frame out and put a piece of plywood on the riser with some blocks at the front of the floor to level that up. Shouldn't need to "build" anything. I don't fit on the floor in front of the seat riser, so need more room that's flat.

I just cut a 2 foot wide piece off a 4X8 foot piece of 1/2" plywood and build a 2X4 framework to support the outboard end at rocker panel height. Prop one end onto the floorboard, and lie down to work under the dash. Try not to snore!

OK, I know this isn't a difficult project to figure out but I was hoping for a helpful photo to send to my brother. I'm sure he can make something work just fine! Thanks.

I made one like HRL describes and the first time I put it in, I just laid there for a while with a smile on my face and thought about just nodding off.
