    well i have tore into my cj.. trying to fix buggered up wiring from previous owners and this and that.. dash was a mess you can't really tell from the pic but the old dash was big time bent..vary wavy and someone fiberglassed over the glove box and a few other spots and did not sand it vary good before painting... so i have yanked the dash ..bought a piece of 1/8" thick aluminum and here is where i am so far.. i just stuck it in to get an ideal of how it will look ...much more to do ....

    Nice looking work.

    It is amazing what people do to their vehicles. I had to deal with some issues on mine.

    Nope. Thanks anyway. I was e-mailing a guy back and forth from East Canton about a Jeepster he had listed on ebay several times and it didn't sell. I thought we were getting close to a deal then I never heard form him. Oh well :)

    Great job on the dash. I need to get crack-a-lackin on my CJ5!
