lol! My mother in law owned a really professional sewing machine,but she went and sold it before I found out. I was planning on using it dang it! It sure doesn't look hard,and sure is a lot cleaner than body work or turning wrenches.

Wow it looks good! Love iut when a guy does something himself instead of just overpaying for something premade. So many guys are just plug it in an run types,or dont even know what end of the wrench to hold. LOVE it when I find a fellow diy'er!

Beats the tar outta scratched and wore out! Looks great and one of a kind now. Am curious what you edged the shifter slot with? And maybe a suggestion for a gauge pod. Have the pod at the end past the shifter kinda under the dash area,but with the face tilted up and a bit toward the driver for...

You could just simply grind all that crap off,and resurface the wheel with epoxy paste. Mold it and shape it un til it's close then elbow grease and grinding/sanding until it's right. A bit of black spray paint after the bondo stage and your done. Probably cost you less than $50 and you'll learn...

You bet! I'll probably make it from sheet metal. That's one thing I have lot's of! Stupid ex body men always keep sheet metal handy,lol! Im guessing you used tubing or exhaust pipe for the recess's? And it look's like you made the gauge panel from 2 pieces. Did you do it this way to achieve...

:heart:I really like it!:heart: Im betting you could sell those. And Im admitting right now that Im gonna copy your work,lol! I like it that much...:prayer: Well done sir!

You could try remounting the old panel covers on some fresh material? Sounds like a lot of work so I'd re enforce whats there by adding some thin steel to the "cardboard". You could use panel adhesive or something like it.

What about that chrome like stuff the modellers use? Comes in a sheet with sticky backing and you just cut and trim what you need. Sorry cant recall the name..

I did buy a pair of stage vi heads off craigs list. And had them shipped to me. But the deal worked out well for me as the seller shipped one head and I paid for it,inspected it and then he shipped the other and trusted me for the cash. I paid him for it as the head was everything he claimed...

I appreciate your handmade dash more than one somebody opened thier wallet for...What can I say,some have the skills..

K I requested! We shall see.

The over lay stuff is cool. I wonder if it comes in kph?

Thanks for the heads up! That looks like EXACTLY what I want for my dash. Sorry,I cant offer any advise as I've never used em.

http://www.por15canada.com/can/restorationkits.asp Looks like a nice package.

It will work out fine.Mettalics should be laid down with a medium wet coat so the metal particles settle correctly and lay flat for maximum brilliance. A dry coat will have the particles on edge and be darker in tone. I would buy several spraybombs and practice till it looks right. Another...

You need to strip the wheel down first,take off anything you dont want epoxy or filler on.Give it a super good cleaning with thinner or some kind of chemical cleaner that wont melt the plastic.Get some epoxy that comes in a syringe for easy dispensing.Rough up the repair area's with 36 or 40...

One idea that might help keep costs down is an option to just buy the gauges and install/mod the dash yourself rather than pay to have it all done. Sort of a diy kit.

True. Thats probably because most folks price expectations get far exceeded beyond what is reasonable. Lets hope that a digital dash doesnt cost more than it's really worth.

A digital sweep gauge for mph and rpm would be awesome...

Most wreckers in Cananda wont let you walk through thier yards anymore.SUXXX....

Subscribed and with a request. Can people attest to how comfortable thier replacement seats are? So far I like the look of the summit sport 70 duster 440 used best,but it was a pic of the side...

Cool stuff! Any idea what the price range will be? Cudo's to you bluemissile for picking up on this and thanks!

I always look at any thread with dash pods or guages that are non stock. This is the coolest I've seen so far. I may be very temted but without the diso graphics stuff around the guages. reminds me of an 80's trans am dash...

Very slick! Looks better and likely feels better than stock. Me I'll stick with a stock rear seat and some nice comfy aftermarket jeep seats. They look a tad more comfortable than a lightweight buck. I'll be spending time at Summit...

Smoke the doobie and it will open. You may experience extreme munchies..

Yes x2!! Kinda hard to see it without,lol.:snakeman:

Linky worked great for me! Thanks crackedback...another fun project that costs almost nothing!

I got curious and searched those seats.They look great and I bet very comfy as well. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/soloracerdotcom_2099_10047833
