Fleetwood,

I'll post all the pics I have. In hindsight I should have taken a few more pics. The first couple of pics show the wood blanks before staining and cutting or drilling out for instruments.

BTW, this was a lot of effort. I made a practice template out of pine first to make sure the fit was perfect. It is just a lot of "measuring twice and cutting once" if you know what I mean. I used an epoxy to attach the aluminum to the wood before using double stick tape on the back of the wood to attach the wood to the dash. In one of the pics I added red lines which mark where I cut off the aluminum trim. The bottom piece of aluminum trim that was glued to the glove box had to be trimmed all the way back.

As mentioned, the glove box was beyond my skill level so I detached the metal backing of the glove box from the car and brought it to a local wood worker. He routed the back of the wood to fit perfectly to the metal door assembly.
