guage/swith mount

I have seen some guys with the f-650 dash kit and like the idea with one exception. I want to keep the covey hole and put the switch plate down where the guages would go. Clay at RR couldn't help me out on the dash part so I am asking yall for help. The couple of guys i have seen that made their own dash is something i am willing to try but i am not sure what they used. If anyone knows how to make up a dash piece please feel free to share with me what you did and a what material (ie. fiberglass) you used.

Thanks in advance

Most people use fiberglass. I dont know how to do it myself, but you can get all the supplies at a hardware store I think.

There are some good fiberglass forums around believe it or not.

I got an under cubby 3 gauge pod. Forget who is was but he glassed his in and it looked sweet. Hopefully he will drop by this thread.

Got this under cubby pod through Dieselmanor.

I knew i should've painted mine blue. Looks good, Payson.

I got a 6spd, my pics wont help ya. If you google 7.3 f650 dash, you'll probably get all sorts of hits.

The Denim blue, interior paint code 3D, is impossible to find. I used this. Under 13 bucks a can. Once it dries you can't tell it isn't the Ford Denim Blue.
