Custom Switch Panel

southfour! · April 11th, 2010, 12:58 AM

What do you guys think of my switch panel, Its nearing completion. I cant decide what finish to do the panel it so i painted it black for now.

The Inside of the shift bezel will either be painted red or silver (like the mach 1) as will some other interior parts.

I made the panel from a scrap HVAC panel due to low funds, About half way through making it i realized that the front was just a thin layer with the stuff for HVAC printed on so i bought a sheet of plexi glass and cut it to size. I made 5 pieces and it took me a few tries to get the holes drilled without cracking. Then i took some special plastic super glue and bonded it to the panel.

The bezel is just cut and i took a old radio bezel and cut the part surrounding the HVAC out and bondoed it in.

I then took the stuff bondo made called plastic metal and tacked the trim in place. I am currently in the process of sanding the bondo smooth around the sides.

What do you guys think? If anyone is interested in a write up i took pics as i was doing it.

And if anyone knows how to wire the engine start button that would be amazing

Oh..I see...

And if I got cought with nitrous where I live they would impound my car and suspend my liscence. And then fine me hundreds of dollars. So that's the major reason for me not getting it lol.

Yea that is a pretty good reason...

Nope, all they need is probable cause to do a search of a vehicle. If they don't have that then they can go about getting a warrant.

N2O would be such a cliche thing to put in a mount like that.

yeah, i think nitrous would be a waste of money since i only drive on the street. And as far as i know there is no where near me to get the bottle filled.
