It is still rough, got some more sanding and priming to do before finish paint...but this will go in place of the radio and the radio will move under the seat. It was my first venture into the world of fiberglass fab.

oh yea, forgot to mention...copy and paste URL because imagestation is still retarded

I had already made one with a peice of alumium and 2 autometer guage bezels. But I got bored on day so I covered them with foil as not to ruin them in this process, and they were my template. Right there as you see it ive got about 10-12 hours of work in it, very tedious work!

Sweet.

FYI when you link from imagestation you need to drop the .orig.jpg at the end.

That looks great. Get the gauges mounted, and show us again. Better get that production time down before you try to mass market them though...
