    For some one not wanting to make a dashboard. You have outdone yourself with the craftsmanship my friend. That dash is amazing and so is your sense of humor.

    I was just sitting down to have some lunch and your video popped up. Awesome job as usual and I have to say that your video was better than my lunch. Can’t even imagine what’s gonna happen to the bronco. Is the Bronco going to be your vehicle or for a customer. After watching you turn the bronco into the garage, looks like the steering box must be about a 25 turns lock to lock ha ha. I’m sure a rack and pinion is on the build sheet. Keep the videos coming , they always make my day.

    Outstanding dash. I kinda like the aluminum finish but figure it could be a distraction in bright sunlight. Looks like there's room at each corner for outside A/C vents but then again under dash units would work too. I think you get more cooling from the outside vents... Enjoying this build and looking forward to the next. Carry On. 👍
