Joe it shouldn`t be that hard. Just depends on what you want to build it out of. Then bolt it to the lower dash. I`ve seen them covered to match the interior.

Under Dash Extension / Console
Guys, I'm planning for the Vintage Air installation and was wondering how difficult it is to build / fabricate an under dash extension such as pictrued. This looks to be around a 4" extension but I guess my question would surround types of material being used and mounting methods. I plan to have a small console too. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe

Joe and Ram, does your VA have the center air outlets made into the evap housing? If it does not, like mine, it is very simple to make. It can be made out of several things - metal, wood, etc. Mine is made out of a hard wood that I purchased at Lowe's and it is already the right "height" Mine is 3" but there is also a 4" available.

I made mine out of sheet metal had it bent its 3"X3"X4" and cut out for the guages and the A.C. vents here are some pictures. Later Bill

Dash Extension
I know this is an old thread, but perhaps someone may still find this of use.
We have just recently developed a dash extension that we will make in fiberglass with a black gel coat. It is made to fit 1955-56 cars with the Vintage Air Sure Fit system or the Classic Auto Air system. We have also made a mold for the duct from the evaporator and made it a little wider to accept different style vents. Take a look at it here: http://www.completeautoupholstery.c...t-Dash-Extension/p/57553107/category=15652007 and there will be more parts coming in the future. Thanks.
