Thanks for the info !!!

good luck looking you will find a lot of cool stuff and get your wheels turning once you look at there site. they have to many colors and choices to pick from! you will have to check out the pics they have powder coated hoods and other large stuff for a jeep if i remeber correctly, really cool looking!

that is exactly what i was thinking, when they got pulled over by the cops!!

Have been deciding what to do with my dash for a while. I do not like the dash pads but did not want to change the whole thing. I figured I would just fill in the dash pad holes to keep it simple and keep a some what stock look. Have only 4 more to go.

dieselarmy13 · 03-15-2010, 04:14 AM

I like the dash. Nice and simple.

msgross · 03-15-2010, 05:45 AM

looks nice John...

the wife confirmed again that I'll get my body work when I get promoted... should be summer or fall, we'll see.... I need to find a trustworthy and affordable guy in our area though.

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 09:49 AM

thanks guys, kind of a pain because i have been taking it down close with a disc then filing to make sure it is 100% smooth and not wavy.
mike, when you get to that point i have a couple of places you can check. 2 in in hershey and one in lemoyne. you can get prices and check out some of there work. select collision is my brothers friend, dans autobody does nice work but a little pricey and bk rods. bk rods does all of my buddies bikes and has done nice work. but as always you will have to do some homework! i had a guy paint a truck for me once and it was pure hell to get it back and it was still not done!!!!

LooseCannon · 03-15-2010, 10:01 AM

I'm thinking about going the same route with my dash. Nice work.

my67chevytruck · 03-15-2010, 10:23 AM

John,

great minds think alike. we didnt like the way the dashpad looked either...... I like the deleted look....

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 12:36 PM

heath! heath! heath! that looks awesome! good deal, i was a little worried it would be to thin looking but that is great news and insperation!
loose cannon, i think it will be worth it, it is just very time consuming the way i am going about!

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 12:37 PM

heath do you have any pics with the dash all together? i am excited to see how the gauge cluster looks with it modified!

John,

no gauge cluster yet, but the glovebox is installed. I will snap a shot for reference.

mike another place i forgot about is thru it all in mount joy. he is also a good friend of my brothers. couple of places to check. dont forget about earl shibe and maaco, they are always running good specials

msgross · 03-15-2010, 07:56 PM

maaco, you'll get smacked for that one!

Cousin Eddie is now sold, made a few bills on the deal too... New owner comes Friday to get it, can't wait... I caught myself looking at a vmax online last night... maybe in two years when everything is paid off...

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 08:02 PM

i thought you would like the maaco joke. that is awesome about the rv, makes you feel good.
vmax that is cool, you might want to check on insurance. i know they are very fast and not sure how they are classed, sport or cruiser?

msgross · 03-15-2010, 08:04 PM

I'd love a fatboy but can't see myself dropping 12-15K... $3500-$4500 for a Vmax is doable... and FAAAAST

I tend to have a things for speed ya know! BTW, i'm heading out tomorrow morning for a flight...

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 08:11 PM

you keep you eyes open and you might get a good deal with the economy. here is a link to my buddies shop and he has some deals sometimes.
http://www.viciouscyclesinc.com/

what time? if it is around 5:30am you can drop off some donuts and coffee!

msgross · 03-15-2010, 08:16 PM

do those models work there? geez!

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 08:19 PM

yeah, look's are as far as it goes! boxes of rocks!!!!!!

msgross · 03-15-2010, 08:26 PM

playing with rocks isn't all that bad

sourkraut · 03-15-2010, 09:06 PM

true! you have a good point!

sourkraut · 03-16-2010, 10:02 PM

Got my dash done tonight and it turned out really nice. There is only one spot that I am not happy with. It is above the driverside vent were they spot welded a tab from under neath and it is kinda sunk in. Nobody will probably ever notice but me? Or it will drive me nuts and end up tearing it apart and fixing it.
Any ways here is a picture of a old aluminum(70's) dirt bike gas tank that he wants a different tunnel and mounts welded on. I thought some of you guys would appreciate te exellant shape and cool factor IMO.

72BlckButy · 03-16-2010, 10:06 PM

John, lovin' the smoothed dash.
