Did some more work on the dash

Postby Bitch'nBronco » Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:38 pm

Update 01/11

Dash is mostly finished, redesigned it, clear coated the zebra wood veneer and worked on the ergonomics of the whole thing. Theres also a youtube link at the bottom to show the marshall gauges working.

Overview of the dash, installed the F-150 vents, wrapped the simulated dash pad in vinyl etc. Its not 100% complete but we're almost there. Waiting to get a sheet of brushed aluminum to finish it off. Going to replace the air bag w/ a empty replacement from lethal performance

That is simply amazing. Looks like a dash from a Antique Jaguar - very stylish and upscale. Is it OK if I say that about your Bronco? lmao

That is cool, I love the that veneer, anything from the 70's needs it.

I can probably help with the sheet of alum. What exactly are you looking for. I have some here in the shop now, and can get lots and lots more. Might not cost much or anything at all depending on what you need. We made some bedside panels from 1/8" clear anodized sheet alum for Andrews last week. I need to take some pic and post them I suppose. I used cut offs that were just sitting around waiting to head to the scrapper.

I have to measure again to see what exactly I need. I'll drop you a PM when I get that done. Thanks!

Thats some good work. Wood work looks cool up there. Nice and original, never seen a bronco with that before.
