Homemade dash question

[Buggieboystu]

Making a homemade dash for my g2 and wondering how to mount it. Right now it's just a piece of treated 1/4" cut to shape. Any suggestions??

depends on how you want it to look. On my son's 89 marathon, I bent up a pieced of sheet metal to fit the opening, then drilled the panel and the lip of the glove box, tapped the glove box lip and bolted it in with stainless hardware. you can do that or make up a something to hide the screws bolts , etc. you could hinge it with a magnet on the top. that way it hides the screws and you can open it for access if needed. With my own cart I used a 70's for dash and cut and welded to fit then made dash pad top that bolted to the dash and to the cowl of the cart and all the mounting stuff was hidden.

hopefully you get a few ideas.....

good luck!

I like the sheet metal idea. I've got the wood cut right now. I was gonna trim this piece with an outer beauty ring then sand and lacquer for a wood grain look. Gonna put the key, light switches and sound system in it.
