I had been thinking about doing something with the dash I had just sitting around and I was gonna experiment with some custom dash stuff, but ruining a dash just wasn't something I wanted to do. This way nothing is ruined and can be used again for a truck. Funny, the glove box on this dash works better than my 77 f250.

My son has already stayed up late messing around with it. It's a pretty cool night light, but I do cut the power at night or when he isn't doing anything with it.

It would be neat if you could rig it up so when your son turns the key you hear starter sounds

Looks like you're raising your kids right, nice job.
Many thumbs up to both you and Jeff.
Reps sent your way. I tried to rep fmc400 too but got thrown into rep hell, again

, I hate that

Thanks Mike

Yeah, it's a little bigger and more in depth that I had originally thought. My first idea was just to make it a wall hanger, but then it spun out of control a little. I would have liked the key switch to turn it on, but my son loves to mess with the keys so much that turning it on and off so many times might have messed with it. Also, if he misplaces the keys, it's not a big deal. I also thought about putting some small 12v fans inside and hook it up to a switch for the center vent. That might be a little much and my wife already thinks it's a bit much.
