Just sent some pics in of my dash I fabricated from metal today. Of course more will follow as I work the little flaws out. But what I want to accomplish is to have a nice metal dash painted to either match or complement to the truck like they used to do before going to these plastic dashes. After a full day of bending, hammering and welding, I think I am there. Once the pictures are posted, I would appreciate any feed back on it. Also I think I need to do something to the center as it is quite flat. On the other hand, a long clean dash with only breaks for the guages, radio and glove box would be nice. Keep looking for the pics under Rick Acosta in projects. (I saw someone paid over $800 for a new dash cover? I love my LUV, but $800+? :? :? :? )
