    Finally started on a project last winter to replace the original dash

    with a custom hardwood dash (Hawaiian Koa). Several years ago I

    purchased some Koa (native Hawaiian hardwood) to use for

    gunstocks. The original dash was showing wear so I started this

    project last November. I removed the old dash, being careful to

    mark all of the wires. Using the old dash as a pattern, I cut the

    new dash to fit and also cut out a glove box (lacking in the

    original). The photos are self explanatory.

    Hey Colorado…

    Your pictures didn’t make it.

    When you are in the text entry area, creating a new post:

      Click on the

       Browse your computer for the Picture  and double click it.
     
       Next click the Ok button and wait for the file to upload to the server.

     
       A folder will automatically be made for all pictures you post. The folder will be named according to your user name. (i.e.  Username= FrankieD  Photo Gallery Folder= FrankieD)

       You can repeat these steps to post multiple images. Hit the enter key once or twice between images or they will string out across the screen.

        If you only want the photos to show up in your gallery and not in a posting, simply click out of the New Posting with out hitting the Post New Topic, Update Post or Post Reply button normally used to finish your post.

        You can use the same method to post pictures in any thread or topic but be sure you hit the Post New Topic, Update Post or Post Reply button before exiting. This is useful in topics where your picture can clear up the discussion. Also, the picture will be saved in your Gallery for future viewing editing or deleting.

     They made it to the photo gallery.

     Beautiful dash !! Are those duplicates of the back of each gauge with the wires attached in the respective positions?

    That’s a neat console also.

    Very nice work on that dash. I especially like the glovebox. How’s that made?

    The glovebox is a plastic container that fits into a routed groove and

    clamped into place with a clip on each side. This allows me to

    remove the container for cleaning. Rather than wire labels, I used

    hardboard disks and machine screws to copy the backs of the gauges

    and attach the wires. This allowed me to play with the gauge

    placement as well as clean up the wiring harness before final

    installation.

    Colorado,  Looks great.  I need a glovebox.  Too much stuff.  Where did you get the box itself?  Or did you make it also?
