Thread: Custom Dash, Console, Woofer Box

my god...

that is ******* amazing man.

Holy fiberglass batman! Thats a lot of glass work. A lot of really nice glass work. Keep up the good work.

Any reason for just mounting the EQ and the Cap on the top of the console and not going through with integrating them more...??

All that work on the dash and the center console only to sit an EQ on the center console and screw it in?

Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine.....but then again, I'm quite anal....lol

and btw - I'm moving this to the show off forum...since that's what this is....a show off...

wow is someone jeleous of the skillz!??

not at all.

at the risk of starting something here, building a dash like that it's all that complicated, just takes time and patience.

I've ALWAYS hated seeing equipment just stuck on top of a custom piece.

All that time to build the custom piece, then you just screw the equipment on top of it.

Many of the members of our team have their equipment mounted like this. I've always hated it. Every time Monte and I see it we both look at each other and say the same thing. Just why not finish it out!? Why not take a little more time and integrate it?

It's not jealousy, it's simply pointing something out. If you're going to show it off, you better be ready to have it picked apart.

Take the speakers in the dash. Went through the trouble to hide the mounting points...yet....the radio is just mounted to the dash...didn't mold in the trim ring.

Same with the EQ and the cap. Why not recess the EQ and have those mounting points hidden? The cap? I've seen some cool things done with caps, things that make the install heads and shoulders above the average install.

It's simply a question, simply an observation...sorry I didn't drool all over it and bow down on my knees....lol

good reasoning, but then again I ask why a painted dash when you're competing in SQ - thus the reason it didn't come to mind).

It was my first dash and console anyway.

Quite impressive!

I've got an older blazer that I am about to start on here soon and I am going to glass everything in it.

Be sure to post pictures, I'd love to see the work.

Also if you will notice I didn't mount the cap on the console. I just used that spot for my air ride switches.

I noticed that as well.

And I didn't post it on here to get anyone to bow down or drool over it.

Not saying you did...I made the comment in response to Eskalad.

It was just a post to get people to view my website and maybe give some ideas to some other people.

Are you aware that this site is dedicated to CarPCs?

It's just something that I enjoy doing in my spare time.

I completely understand. It something we do in our spare time as well. Quite enjoyable.

I actually don't look forward to being done with a project. I enjoy the process too much...lol

Anywho, welcome to the site.

Not at all, asking a question. However, some people (apparently not the OP) don't understand that...lol

Good luck with your competitions, I'm sure you'll do great!

Read it again....he's not competing...
