June 30, 2011 at 9:56 am #233535Finally 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. Walt Colorado 40726.4970717593 June 30, 2011 at 10:38 am #245291Hey Colorado… Your pictures didn’t make it. When you are in the text entry area, creating a new post:

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. July 1, 2011 at 4:35 pm #245293Looks great! July 1, 2011 at 9:40 pm #245294Very nice work on that dash. I especially like the glovebox. How’s that made? July 1, 2011 at 9:47 pm #245295I’m liken it a lot  Dan RJuly 2, 2011 at 9:25 am #245296 Dan RJuly 2, 2011 at 9:25 am #245296The 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. December 12, 2011 at 10:23 am #245297Colorado, Looks great. I need a glovebox. Too much stuff. Where did you get the box itself? Or did you make it also? Roy
