This is how I solved it.



I used a piece of hard 5mm thick Polycarbonat (lying around).
I airbrushed it (wood patern wallnut) as I did with the whole dash and pieces of the console.

I mounted it using 3 magnets and little metal plates.

Here's what I did...got bored one day...made a fiberglass mold on a spare dash I have...used thin clear food wrap to protect the dash and brushed on the resin....built up the cover after making 2 2" tubes for the gauges....still have to sand some more before final spray of truck bedliner

some more....I used the fiberglass resin because I wanted it to be heavy enough to stay in the gb hole, but later designed a hinge to lift it up to use the gbox and hide my stuff...will be installing the hinge this week....what do ya think?

Not bad, I'll give you a pat on the head for that one. Curious to see how Jay is going to improve it though.

Beautiful! You do good work. You know, if an in dash a/c system were possible, that would be perfect for duct outlets.
