What does this dash run? Where is it available from? I've never seen a fiberglass dash for an EB. Is it just a blank dash with nothing cut? Is the column hole cut at least? How is the thickness of the 'glass....do you think it will hold up over time to abuse and not get flimsy or break easily? I've been thinking about a custom dash, and the 'glass would be easier to work with for a custom layout.


Looks sweet by the way!!

Looks good. The switch panel looks great. How do you like the map light?

Very nice work but where's the radio and where do you keep your gloves?

Dash panel

It is $188 plus shipping from Terra Comp

It is substantially thicker than steel and it is strong. You have to trim down the spacers on the ignition/light switches to get them tight. The glove box mounting lip is not on the panel so you would need to do a little glass work and reinforce to get it in there. It comes blank.

-Switch panel is great. I should have had him build the ignition, light and wiper switches into it with toggles and a pushbutton start button as well as added the turn signal indicators and high beam indicator in there as well. he can build whatever you want

-I don't wear gloves in Key West and I use the Tuffy stereo center console. Much better position and secure since the truck is almost always with bikini top.

-Those are the turn and high beam indicator LED's. They pop out of the mounting sockets pretty easily so they need to be glued. I am doing that tonight after dinner.

-Hella map light is great. There are other sizes as well

Dash

I took my time with the dash and made a very neat and tidy harness for all the gauge lights, power, grounds and senders. I used the Weather Pak connectors with a remote marine grade fuse panel for the whole thing. It is very neat and clean behind the dash and if I have a problem I can quick disconnect the gauge with the weather pak connector which is close to the back of the gauge. I used a 4 prong for the light power/light ground/gauge power/gauge ground and a single for the sender.

All connections were soldered. There are no butt connectors back there all are weather pak connectors which are waterproof.
