with the wiring lately, i hit the point where i needed to get the dash done in the jeep. i had a piece of 18ga cut and braked at the local steel supplier... cost me 15 bucks. then i went down to S&S chassis supply in springdale and picked up the parts for the new steering shaft/column. after some work heres the new setup.

i am thinking about just clearcoating the bare steel instead of black paint, not sure yet though.

Thanks! i am going to mount the gauges on the dash bar, but i am not sure if i am going to use the autometer pods or make my own panel type thing.
