Dash repair

The PO of my 61 had the dash butchered up with holes, radio etc. I made a plate out of aluminum. I cut a nice even hole in the dash smaller than my plate and screwed it to the dash. Looks a lot better than before. An old road sign works good and saws easy with a scroll saw...Dan

 

Looks nice man real clean.

 

that look real good. You do good work.

 

If I didn't know better, you could tell me it was factory.

 

i agree! beautiful. i may adapt that in the future! :stout:

 

Dan....that really looks great. Every time I have an instrument problem or when I have to get behind the dash for this or that , I promise myself that I will make access to it easier as soon as I get time. Nice job!

 

dan, i just looked at the repair again.. i can't get over how nice it looks.

 

looks good

 

Looks real nice , i need to do some on the commando . After i figure out where i want everthing mounted .

 

Very impressive way to patch over the old holes, and super convenient to get to the wires without having lay upside down with your head on the hard metal floor and try to work on wires with all the blood running to your head. :>)

I like the beige (or tan) color of the inside of your jeep. What kind of paint and what color is it called?

Dan looked at it 4 times & finaly i printed the dam thing now it hanging in my shop.I tell my friends i did that(kidding) looks great.

 

To CT, the color of my 61 CJ5 is Ford Tractor Medium Grey. It is the same color used on the wheels of the later model Forf tractors. Dan

 

Thanks Dan for the information on the paint. You and I share the same love for jeeps. FYI Just checked out your webpage. Nice looking.
