Wouldnt have thought the Axiom dash would have been that different since the Axiom is based on a Rodeo. A 2nd gen Rodeo dash may have fit. I believe the firewall and dash in the VX is from a 1st gen (or gen 1.5) Rodeo. I know someone on the Planet did a 2nd gen drive train and interior swap into his 1st gen Amigo and didnt really have much of an issue fitting the dash.

The frankendash is looking awesome though. I wouldnt have had the stones to start chopping them up.

so i went with the shop vac hose and used connecting bolts to connect the duct to the hose







and some foil tape to seal it up

the hose bends to a sharp 90 easily

AND IT IS IN!!!!
