This is the overhead that has the built-in switch panel and flip out to mount my G-Tech.
lets see it

Converted coin holder to switch panel.



This took the longest to blend, stock this curve is about half the height.




The piece is still in primer and eventially will be painted gloss black to hide the digital temp gauge.

What goes in the big hole at the back of the Windstar OH console? On the Expy, that's where the garage opener and sunglass holder and light go, but it looks like those are already in place for the Windstar model.

There's free cigars, so I will be there with the wife.

The Windstar and Expedition use the same rear insert garage door/sunglass compartment. As you can see in the last few pics the hole is the same.

No thanks, I work alone.

I am just creating new ideas for custom pods, this won't be installed in my truck. I will only have 6 gauge's max, gotta order an oil pressure gauge soon.
