Glove Box Hinge Pictures for 427

Hi Apex speed.

I used a piece of fiberglass sheet (1/8" I think) from McMaster Carr and "countersunk it and notched it. Here are a few pics;

Got a picture of the finished (leather covered?) glovebox door?

Hi Glenn. I do have pics but I'm updating my PC so it will be a couple of days before I can post them.

Thanks. However I believe the original design had 1/16" aluminum on the front, a 3/8" wood core, and 1/16" aluminum on the black for a total of 1/2"

The piano hinge is supposed to be 205MM wide and approximately 1 to 1 1/6" open. Supposedly the catch that holds the door closed is just a simple metal tab that friction fits against the top of the dash when closed.

I'm just not clear how the hinge fits into that "sandwich" per the original setup. Hopefully I can under that last detail as I'm building it tomorrow evening.

Nice thread, I am watching. It came at the perfect time, because my client wants a glove box - and I try to persuade him not to!

This is for another car with a painted dash and he wants no visible screws or rivets. And I'm not painting the dash again, which is a part of the body (like on a beetle).
