Got the Maxi-Cool air unit mocked up.

Here is how it looks like the dash is gonna get laid out. Fairly basic.

dash related

a little more progress

Mike,
Looks great. What process did you use to cut the dash?

 

[Miker]

Hey Dave, hole saw and air saw, Then a file for the straight lines and a flap wheel in a die grinder for the circles - so said Ryan

 

[dave67fd]

Did he fab the whole dash or is it vendor blank?

BC Broncos vendor dash defrost ducts already welded in. I picked out the the blank dash that only had the column cutout and the 4 inch offset glove box already cut into the dash as well.

More work on the dash Navi unit mocked up and Ryan made two center pods for the middle AC vents. This way all four AC vent will be in the dash.

The speedo bezel will not have the four screws coming through the dash- I think that ought to look pretty cool

Looking good there mike!

 

[dave67fd]

That dash is turning out "sweet".

 

[Miker]

more mock up

dash is taking a while but it will look nice.

 

[Miker]

glove box had some work done

Ryan built a splitter for the middle two AC vents so they blow the same amount of air. The Tuffy glove box was not going to work because of the AC unit - so he took care of that as well. More time on the dash than I would have thought, but it should look great and be very functional.

Looks good Mike (and expensive...) ;D
