idahoBLKss Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 looks like you did a good job but dam ... think you used thick enough aluminium lol ... i would have painted it black thou not a fan of polished stuff on the dash .

kbuchner Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 looks like you did a good job but dam ... think you used thick enough aluminium lol ... i would have painted it black thou not a fan of polished stuff on the dash . thanks. well i started off with 3/8 stock and milled it down to about .345" because thats the gap that had to be filled between the little compartment i mounted it too and the bezel itself. I wouldn't of used that thick of material if i didn't need too lol .I'm probably gonna have it anodized black but i'm waiting until i have a few other parts to send with it.

silverado777 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Wish I could play with the cnc machines at my job... Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk I think a brushed aluminum would be cool but weird at the same time since it wouldn't match anything else in the truck. I think it would be cool if the switches were closer together and you had "SS" etched into is on the bottom or top.

Joe Roknic Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 that looks awesome.... even better when powdercoated. What are the swithches for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 looks awesome man. good work. once anodized or powdercoated itll look ( . )( . ) . you could sell these but like triple 7 said it wouls be sweet if you ran the switches all down at the bottom more and then etched ss in the top. either way its awesome man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
