Thread: Starting in dash fabrication

I made a wood frame for the monitor case. I inserted a MDF piece in there until the glue sticks, cut in the corners so the glue wodn't stick.

A little test fit. It doesn't look like that now, but I forgot to take a pic when I finished the adjustments.

Right now, I'm waiting for the glue to harden. However, I made a mistake that I think will cost me dearly, I FORGOT TO SAND BEFORE APPLYING THE EPOXY GLUE... Well, I guess that's it, I only applyied the first layer of glue...

I didn't make a test fit in the car yet, because that would be useless, since I already know it won't fit. The remaing dash in the car will suffer extreme changes in order to fit this little bugger...but that will be done, when the dash is done.

Thanks, trust me, i'm trying, but it's hard with the finals and all.





Here's a pic of the glued dash, still have to apply another layer of glue, as this one is for guiding. The screen bezel is not yet fitted properly.

Great work Cris. Looking really good. Can't wait to see it finished.
