Some sheet metal, cutters, welder & sweat!
I'm in process of cutting/welding one for mine, as well as one for the radio. It's gonna lay flush w/the metal around it. Gonna look sorta like some fox bodies do w/the smooth engine bay. I'll shoot you some before and after pics if you want Luis.67Dylan said:Some sheet metal, cutters, welder & sweat!
hell yeah dylan that would be great. BTW let me know how hard it is. i wish i had something to make a curve in the metal. BTW im about to buy a rotissorie cause im tired of laying on my back taking off the under coating LOL.
anyway have you seen the dash w/o out the pad? just smooth metal? i removed the piece that holds the pad and im gonna smooth it out, i think it looks sick and now i can sell my new pad and put that towards more parts

Show us a pic of your dash without the pad on it. I'm curious to see how that looks.

A rotis would be nice; seen the plans online to build your own? I'm using 1/4" steel I picked up from the metal yard's scrap pile for .30/lb to build a frame holder. Tho, another project isn't what you have time for or need right now
Try a body shop supply store for the tools you need for the metal bending. It'll take some practice, but you'll get it right. Come to think of it that's actually a good idea about smoothing the dash out...

Hey guys, guess what--I have a bi-pass!!!
I have the same issue with wanting to cover the radio hole, that someone drilled some extra holes. I am either going to get a piece of aluminium, around .030 thick radius the edges and make a nice curve,and install the plate with some stainless steel fastners. Or just get an original radio and make a nice frame for the radio to go into. Aluminum is very easy to bend, and can be purchased from aircraft suppy shops online.
