Reference on how much the bumps needed to be raised.




Roughed out with a mallet and sand bag.




The table on the new bandsaw had the same radius as the dash panel so I used it and a chisel end hammer to sharpen up the edge of the bump.










Corner vent bump.. lots of shape to fit a bump around.




I cheated and cut a few reliefs in what would end up as the vent opening to help the surrounding metal flatten out easier.




The finished dash.

Too cool! That dash looks bad @$$!
