well last wek I decided to start making a wood dash cover. Went to Home depot and got myself some real woood 1/4 thick. and started working. here is an unfinished pic.
I removed the bottom portion of the dash the material that covers it as well as the metal plate under the material. the edges don't have to be straight as they will be hidden (slides in) the top and part of the dash. The 1/4 inch wood fits perferct under the edge. at first I was thinking of using double sided tape, but it will not be necessary to use any glue or tape as the upper and lower part of the dash will hole it perfectly. This piece will ne able to slide out if you desire to put the dash back to original. the best part is that it is real wood and hand made. I have to work on the center consol, the middle piece that holds the gauges the radio frame and the glove compartment cover. I will be posting more pics as I go alone. Let me know what you guys think!! Attached image(s)
