A couple of weeks ago I stop by FFR to pick up a radiator. Base build, I am that point that I need one“ I live in CT so its about a 2 hour drive” While I was there I also picked up the Vinyl Dash on a whim. “I wanted a glove box and did not want to invest in the effort of building or adding a bought one to the aluminum dash. I liked the idea of the vinyl Dash and that It had a glove box already built into it. So I pulled the trigger. After I got home, I noticed that it did not come with instructions. So I promptly went on the FFR parts site as they post pdf installation instructions. I found the vinyl dash link and click on it and to my dismay. I got a “404 Not Found” error. They still need to fix this! Anyways, I do like the dash and I like the look of the dash with all the gauges in it. Very well done! “In my humble opinion” except for the door of the glove box. This is a great idea but poorly executed. So here is what I came up with to improve my dash. I have a Aluminum dash that I will not be using anymore so I decided to cut it up. First I decided to use the old aluminum dash as a backing to stiffing up the vinyl dash. Second when I cut out the glove box area I would re-purpose the aluminum from that area to help the dash door.
So I made a template that would fit into the dash door, I routed out the dash aluminum to fit into the door drilled out the mounting holes. added vinyl and attached it to the door
