Need Ideas "Boring Glove Box Door" - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The chromed door with the insert does look great and is similar to what I meant in my first post about using a Cheyenne Super glove box door trim panel and adding a black insert. That way you keep your original door and SPID intact by simply sticking the trim panel over your existing door. Plus it is reversable.

Now if you have not moved your 'vette emblem here is a photochopped relocation for your consideration.

+1 just about the cleanest look, with second being the Chevrolet emblem in the lower corner, IMO. These trucks have beautiful unique dashes, and its really easy to get carried away.

Ok, you convinced me.
I'm going to move it. When I get time I'll do the chrome with the black camera finish.

That is sweet, leftybass!

I havent seen it done on our trucks, but I have seen Stacy David use guitar puckguard material as a background for some gauges on the dash of a car he built. I have always thought that it would be cool to have some cut to work on my gauge bezel and another to match for the glovebox door. Something like this:

Cool.

"Unobtrusive" not pretentious.

Time to kill this thread.

One company I know of for sure that sells flat sheets of pickguard material is www.warmoth.com. they have pearloid, tortishell, and solids in a variety of colors, and layers. You can pick up a white black white three layer for instance, to give the rim a black pinstripe.

DT1, how about having a vinyl photo made for the GB door at a sign shop? You could have any picture you want made in vinyl, trim it out, and just stick it on the door. If you got tired of it, it will peel right off. You could even put the cool Chevy emblem on top.

Nice ones.

How about having two?...Change them for the seasons.

bruceman1968 · 08-06-2013, 05:48 PM

That's funny, How about a pic of the inside of the GB. That way you don't have to open it up to see what's inside.

If they were made up in vinyl with a magnetic backing, you could change it everyday.

leftybass209 · 08-06-2013, 06:05 PM

Okay Bruceman, the overlay with the inside of the glovebox is funny. I can see a spouse breaking her nails as she tries to reach in there!

I used a Cheyenne Super insert and painted the vinyl part with spray in bedliner to match the texture of the driver's side and used a '67 - '68 emblem on my '69 C-10.

A lot of good ideas, the hot girl may take away train of thought, like the script and last one best, choices.

**Already Gone** · 08-07-2013, 12:55 AM

I like the last one as well, but would like it to be 1/2 as long.

Here is my glovebox door I just finished. I used a Chevrolet script off a valve cover for my insert.
