requesting pictures of dashes

[Ducky2009]

I made a blank dash (with 3/32" material vs stock .040") and rearranged the gauges as many others did (competition dash). With the stiffer dash and an aluminum brace plate (3/32") approx 12" wide, mounted in the center above the tunnel from the dash to the frame, makes the dash pretty solid. The firewall is 3/32" too, to add some stiffness, needed because of the large hole for the heater push-out box.

I also made a heater push-out box (2 1/4" out) and made a glove box. Mine is welded together, but could easily be a riveted assembly. With the push-out, the glove box is 3" deep at the top and 4" at the bottom.

I went the path of the competition dash with a little twist. Real Carbon fiber that is currently getting clearcoated. Speedhut Revolution Gauges with all billet push buttons. Headlight switch and ignition key are on home made dash supports under the dash. Seeing that all the gauges are programmable with LED warning lights, I decided to center the auxiliary gauges around the speedo in the center. High beam indicator and turn signals are integral to the GPS speedometer as well.
