Re: . . .Dash project. . .

I hope he didn't give up it was looking Good..! looks alot better than my crappy attempt at a custom dash... I tried to build one out of fiberglass for a GMC truck I had and I didn't shed a tear when it went into the trash...

Is there any update about this? I just can't wait for the final look of your dash. This dash is already taking a good shape now from here

Re: . . .Dash project. . .

I've never fabricated anything in my life; except for the story about why I came home from the bar so late last night- With something this large and intricate, should he have mocked it up in heavy cardboard first? Nitro

Re: . . .Dash project. . .

wow cool, i have been trying to think of stuff to do to my dash... this just opens up a whole world of possibilities i would be too lazy to do.

in actuality ive been thinking about taking the plastic off of my current dash pad, smoothing the foam stuff out and then slapping some fabric I might like.
