So last nite I finally got off my ass and completed this. It began out of necessity. I needed a few panels to complete the console that I added to Blackie. Having some experience with aluminum, the materials on hand and given mostly to being a CSOB I decided to burl some pieces for this. I previously posted this work here.... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=135875 and here... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=117089&hl=burling++aluminum , if you give a shit. Satisfied with the outcome I decided to do the dash face likewise. Is there an emoticon for blowing your brains out? Enough! Check it out. Yes, I know the dash is cracked, the vent is dirty, the heater control knobs are filthy and I forgot to polish the lock for the glove box. Little by little

Fantastic Kent. Now make one for me. Can it be ready for the G&R?

Cheers, Elliot

Awesome job dude!
That would look cool on a Amco console,
Is it hard, or just boring to make (swirls)

Boring. One of those threads gives you an idea. pm for the tool info. You'll need a drill press and an 8' 2x4

Blackie. She's getting dressed up. See you at the Halloween Run. Happy Birthday, dude.

Dang, that's nice work. Too much bright stuff for my taste, though; I prefer the dashboard to be dark colored.

Hey, have you given a thought to a translucent paint over that surface? Some guys named Faberge did pretty well with that look about a hundred years ago... (Seriously, it could look cool if done well!)
