glove box compartment cover

Post by raseys »

hey guys and girls, any one got any photos of their drivers side glove box. wanna see what people have done. don't have doors on my 1964 moggy but have a few accessories on the drivers side glove box but not the liner so would like ideas of a panel to cover the gap to hid the electrics but mount the switches in. thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply , the site didn't let me know...
Cardboard is easier than sheet metal to work to start with , make something like the glove-box liner and " create " a lip around it approx 1.5 inches recessed,then fabricate a control panel , then replicate with thin sheet ....took me a few tries to get anything decent but I'm happy with it now.
