Hailstorm Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hey there, I'm going to attempt to replace the actual glovebox cardboard compartment with thin wood, but first I need someone to make measurements of theirs, because I ended up ripping out the rotted old one I had in my dash. I will provide everyone with step-by-steps on how I do it, so you no longer have to worry about buying a 10-40 buck piece of cardboard to put in your car, or about it rotting which was my main concern when contemplating how best to reassemble the dash. It will not add much weight over the cardboard since I'll be using thin wood, and the weight will be worth it in my opinion because it won't rot like cardboard will if it gets wet or moist at all. Thanks ahead of time, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 so why not make it out of aluminum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 because I can't work with aluminum very well, and wood is infinitely easier to shape with simple tools available to me. anybody have the dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
