Bus dash

While waiting for one of Jake's power-strokes, I decided I was going to want more instrumentation. So I created a complete new dash out of exotic cocobolo wood. I'd be interested to know what you guys think. Check out: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse. ... cted=70469. And let me know your thoughts at [email protected] . Thanks, Roger

From what I can see in the photos it looks excellent! Much better than the usual clusters of dials stuck here and there. And you're getting a Jake motor!

Thanks for the positive responces.I'm in the process of working out all the bugs so I can fabricate the pieces in less time.I really want a simple install item that allows custom guage selections with heater controles ,etc.My big problem at the moment is finding a nice glove box knob.I think the original looks like cheap junk.I'll check the junk yards.Perhaps Benz or Audi?Need small LED lights also.I'm working on a Bug dash next.Thanks again for your input.I'm always open for sugestions.

Oh wow how much are you charging? That looks great.

Sorry about the delay in responding,Phone down.I'm figuring the whole dash will run about $350.This would be any custom guage layout.Hinges for glove box,Shitch extensions,etc.Ain't getting rich doing this.I'm sort of retired down here @ thought this might be an interesting thing to do.But do E-mail me if you'd like more details.
