[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 184332, member: 5304"] So I've never made it a secret that the "breadbox/breadloaf" on the passenger side dash has been not much more of an eyesore in my opinion. Looking at whats available in the aftermarket, I'm shocked by how much they want for a flat piece of plastic with a square hole in it (for the vent). I just can't bring myself to spend 100+ bucks on a chunk of flat plastic I could make myself. I also want to put a limited size glovebox where the breadbox is. Something like this: [ATTACH type="full"]34060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]34061[/ATTACH] The only problem is; those have been out of production for years. Finding a used one is near impossible. So what I'm going to do (once I get my TIG skills down a little better) is build one myself out of aluminum. Will be a decent bit of fabrication, but there isn't anything there that wouldn't be too hard to replicate with a little time and patience...It's all flat panels and square edges, pretty standard stuff. :) [/QUOTE]
