Title: No more naked fuse panel:
Post by: sarjxxx on May 24, 2011, 11:43:52 AM
So when I installed my under-dash trim, I was dissapointed that it didn't cover the fuse panel, and from everyone I've ever talked to, there never were any covers for the fuse panel, so I made one:D

Here's the raw sheet metal fabrication:

And painted and installed:

lol yeah I guess I should do something about that... it broke and fell off like a year ago and was never very high on my list of things to button up so I always forget about it lol.

Looks nice.

The only problem I can see is that you have to look under the dash to see it (says the man who details the underside of his car:hick:).

I was under my dash last night fiddling around and thought to myself "wonder why this thing never had a fuse panel cover".  Good job!

Thx guys. It was actually pretty easy to make once I got all the measurements and everything drawn up.

Nice work, plus, that feeling of satisfaction one gets from fabbing up your own stuff. I love it. Now, if anyone else makes a panel like that, you were still the first. Again, great work.

I thought the same thing but figured surely somebody would have chimed in by now saying that they did the same thing already.....
