Hey BGA here's building a dash for gauges

[Skools Out]

finally worked on the boat today. UGH been a long week the Tahoe's Diesel died last Sunday night coming home from the coast so spent the week fixing it and getting all the crap back under the hood an over $400 later it's running on all 8 cylinders again. Then the d@mn John Deere transmission broke spent yesterday working on it ugh.

So I hated how this boat's dash was flat and the gauges couldn't been seen without standing up so i built a dash and installed a set of pop up cleats. PS they are a pain in the a$$ to install, glad i fit it before the final coat of paint. Filled the old gauge holes in the dash here's pics

You know, I'm just trying to get mine useable and you are well past changing things that just piss you off.
Man, hats off Skools ;)

[Bygracealone]

Thanks Skools!

Hey, did you reinforce that with screws on the underside? I'm guessing you didn't cause it's such a small piece--probably doesn't need it.

Anyway, where are the rest of the pics? I remember sanding and filler ;D ;D ;D

You da' man ;)

[Skools Out]

Hey BGA i used 5 min epoxy from Lowes to hold together till i glassed it inside and out.

sorry here's the rest of the pics.
