how much do you think that black peice that was glassed cost from Ford. I think I want to make that a winter project and teach myself how to do it.
That looks awesome.

Mine will be done soon, then it's on to a custom glassed intake box. Can you say Dual 3" Carbon Fiber Duct.

do a search online for "How to Glass" and you will find all you will every need.
There's a ton of crap out there, my next project is learning how to make a gelcoat mold.

Looks very good, and a little familiar.
I'm in the process of redoing mine. I'm thinking about trying to texture it like the original dash.
The glare off the shiny black paint is not as bas as I thought it would be, but I still think it would look more factory with the original gray texture.

Internal diameter of 2.5 inch pvc pipe nearly perfectly matches the autometer gauges (or most 52mm gauges at that). You can simply mold glass around pvc and cutout the hole when finished. Time consuming work but easy with the right tools.
