plastic to mount guages

looking to make a plate where the a/c and cd player used to go to mount some switches and autometer guages for my 91 camaro, anyone know where to get the material from. id rather have plastic versus making it out of metal

Re: plastic to mount guages

yeah, easy to work with. Specially if you have a dremel. I used some to make the window mounts for my 4th gen center console and for the nitrous switches...

Re: plastic to mount guages

This is where I get all my abs sheet for my projects from....You can opt for USPS Priority...which is usually around $6 and can have it in two - three days

Keep in mind these are 12" x 24" sheets....not the 12" x 12" sheets from that eBay link. Prices are a lot better here than ebay too!

Re: plastic to mount guages

car stereo shops usually have some they can sell you.
cheapest bet is find a specialty store in your area.
advanced plastics here..... 4x8 sheet for 40 bucks. i use it for everything!
