thats a nice and clean install jeepin.

It wasn't too hard to make. The first one was way off but made for a good reference. I think it was just 16ga mild steel.

Here are a couple shots of mine. Rest of Dash needs to be cleaned up and finished.

49 HARD miles ;) Really it's just the new gauges. Those 49 miles were put on towing it around to the exhaust setup on it and getting it smogged.

I dont want to derail his thread but... Buy good used cool tools. They have been trained to avoid the mistakes that new shinny tools make. Also I make allot of my own tools such as the English wheels, Hydraulic press brakes, etc. When you build your own tools you know exactly where the breaking point is so you can push them right to the limit without them giving excuses on why they dont work correctly. Those new tools are always blaming my lack of skills while the old hand built tools know not to try to fool the creator!. :D :rolleyes:
