Still working on the dash. Today’s task was to fill the 3 stock gauge holes so that I can cut new holes for the new autometer Phantom gauges I’m going to use. First I made a paper template of the original gauge hole. Then I cut out filler panels from sheet plastic. Then, using duramix I bonded the patch panels in place. Next I used round paper templates that I created to figure out where I wanted the gauges to go and spray painted over them to show me where to cut the new holes. This dash is going to take a while. Stay tuned…

- creating the “blank”
- getting ready to duramix in the filler pieces
- using spray paint to show me where to cut the new openings
- one hole cut, one to go
