Check out what I made today

no...not a mess...although i did make a small puddle of blood.
I made a metal glove box for the one ton.
I followed someone's advice on here (can't remember who though) and removed the remains of the paper glove box and traced it out on some steel. Then took it to work and used a nibbler type cutter to cut it all out. Bend it up into the right shape, paint it black, mount it in and added a couple screws to hold the sides together.
I tried moving it around a little to see if it was going to rattle or anything and it all looks good. But I was afraid all the crap I'll put in there will rattle so i cut out some 1/16 (or so) thick rubber and glued it in.
Worked out pretty dang cool IMO.
Then, while I was at the junk yard rippin another tilt out of a van, (which resides in the GMC now) I nabbed the glove box light assembly out of it. You can't really see it in the pic, but the orange-ish light reflecting on the black paint is from the bulb.
Well worth the blood spent.
(the real awsome part is the fact I have absolutly no $$ wrapped up in this mod...just my time which isn't worth too much)
