As you can probably tell, I have no experience with Fiberglassing but I would like to learn! I can do a lot of research on my own without asking nagging questions here but a lot of times it's good to get opinons from people with experience.
Anyways, I have a 1992 dodge dakota and I have a need for a place to mount a few switches (10+ switches)and I cannot find a convient place to locate them (any suggestions).. But I decided on using the ashtray mount (I dont smoke anyways so I'll have to find a new place for my insurance card *SIGH*)Anyone have some suggestions on this?
Thanks,
-Jason

.....overhead console!  Some weeks ago our shop fabricated an odd but stylish "Above-the-visor" console.  Yes, Ceiling / driver's side console, then visor attached to back to the console in the original location (almost).  This thin console  was used to integrate (flush mount) a stereo remote as well as a radar detector, and garage door opener all in one.  First time for us to fabricate a one sided console.  One of my fabricators admitted being a single-side-console virgin...LOL!!!

T-tops eh?  Seen trucks done before, but that was...what, 10ish years ago....that would be cool to see again.  Maybe an overhead "T" console...  Either way, I know someone will spark some ideas you can use.  Keep informing us...

well... came across a problem... or, a delay rather... It may be longer before i get the T-tops :-( ... I have a frame to box and I dont want the body structure to be weakened or anything so we can put the cab on the new frame without worry...
As for the switch panel, a T-console would be pretty sweet... And so would the ashtray one... I'm trying to figure how many I can fit in the ash tray... My idea is to kinda box the top of it off and put the switches in.. does that make sense? I hope so...
