Full Black Dash finally Done.

OEM Satin black Harley dash shell, the rest of the dash parts were painted with a Krylon satin black spraypaint that was a very close match to the shell. A good primer is a MUST so there is no color changes when applying the satin paint. I also finally installed my custom switch panel under the steering wheel and surfboard pod.



One-piece custom carpet someone asked me to post awhile ago.

Next up, make a custom embossed headliner to install my completed overhead.



The whole above the radio in my dash is for this gauge pod once it gets a few more coats of clear and buffed out.


Finally found a place to install a temp sensor in my 2nd oem H/E, really don't need 2 drain valves if I'm gonna be running them together.

More polished parts for my final engine detailing. Polished coil pack bolts, tapped and polished thermostat housing, billetflow polished intake bracket and repolished tube fittings for my coolant system.


And just because I have issues, I polished my new purchases on ebay.

If you plan on doing a full satin black dash plan on investing in alot of Armor All to keep it looking good. Also in my build, I found out the Harley glove box door is a piece of crap. It's a one-peice plastic design and has a very ugly release lever. Our 3-piece steel glove box door is built 100x better. Just take the door apart and paint the plastic parts. You will also need to buy steel washers to reinstall your cigarette lighters, the wholes on the Harely dash shell are much biger than the L shell for some reason. The rsest of the project should go smoothly.

Course it would be cheaper to just paint the L shell, I happen to get the Harley shell for free. If anyone local want's to do this I have a L shell for cheap, there like $1,000 from Ford.

No, you got any your selling?

The steering column pod and a-pillar pod are gonna be gone once the radio bezel pod is done.
All my gauges will be located in the middle of the truck.
