Designed my new dash today. I'm going to redo all of my wiring because it's a nightmare from my "modifications" when I was 16 years old. When there are wire nuts behind your dash it's time to start over.
I'll be using this wiring harness

New headlight and wiper switches
and this 12voltguy panel

The frowny face will have some led lights behind it and will be the check engine light.

Also, try using the sheetmetal package when doing sheetmetal things

Good Call. Didn't even think about that.
i've never experimented with the sheetmetal program. I figured this would be easier to send to Hughes Fab for plasma cutting.
It's 3/16ths aluminum.
Ok redid it in sheetmetal with 1" of spacing between the guages. The dimensions are all right except the arc radius on the corners. I need to get back to measure that.
Based off this switch panel $120

don't run an ammeter on anything modern or that has modern **** in it, unless you like fire
go with voltmeter
...
I'll probably put a air/fuel ratio guage there instead.
I'm going to make my own rock rings. I'm sure I can have it done for less than vendors on pirate
They'll be silver, you can't see silver that well on inventor though.....maybe white

How about a clock or thermometer? Something useful. An a/f gauge is not useful unless you're in a piston driven airplane.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Trans temp
Does your bronco have a trans cooler on the radiator?
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
Yep but its not that good. I know I have gotten it too hot a couple times

You would be suprised on the rock rings, there is a lot of wasted plate making rock rings and plasma time gets expensive quick especially with that many pierces.I'll probably put a air/fuel ratio guage there instead.

Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
Just put a voltmeter....
x2 on pbb vendors vs. sourcing it yourself. Might be worth a try and would be nice to find someone 'local' with a table.
My bitch better have my money...
Through rain, sleet, or snow...
My whore better have my money...
Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
Hughesfab has one I think
Weston has a plasma table, no? Not sure if he is looking for sidework though.
Also, I know a company that has a waterjet, but i am not sure it would be economical.

River city steel in SA usually has nice big pieces of 1/4" plate in the scrap pile. Normally about double of scrap price, so about 25 cents per pound. I stock up when I haul scrap, they usually have 10ga to 1" thick pieces between 3'x4' and 8'x10' in size.
