Hey guys I pulled my dash out tonight and gettin ready to start building a custom metal one. I just thought I would ask if anyone has done this so I could get some better ideas.
 
Like sheet metal dash?

I did these, one is metal, the other is plastic.

im going to do one when i do my cummins swap and just put auto meter speedo tach etc i think it will look sharp with polished allu.
 
We put aftermarket gauges where the factory gauges were previously. I can't post pics currently.

Light it Up, I sent you a pic of ours from my phone.
 
Ya I mounted gauges in my stock dash but it never came out very clean. Im debating if I should build most of it out of thin sheet metal and then rivot a sqaure piece of allum in the middle for my gauges.

Roachie I would like to build a center console like yours. Do you have more pictures of it I could look at? Awesome job on it aslo.
 
All the metal came from tractor supply.
