That turned out great! How did you cut all the holes in your cp? I've got a blank sheet of metal that will need various shaped holes cut out of it.
newmanfamilyvlogs:
I cheated :P As I have with most of the cab, by exploiting available tools and talent at work.
The holes were cut on a big industrial drill press with hole saws. I printed out the template 1:1 on a plotter, taped it down, handed it to the shop mechanic and said "can you punch these for me as indicated?" Of course in doing so the attention to detail I might have done myself was lost, and as such the holes are not perfectly spaced.. but no one will ever notice.
Even the metal itself was scavenged from the scrap pile behind the machine shop.
Next step is getting some glass cut to cover up the whole area... It's just too tight against the wood for a plastic bezel to make sense.
