Just a couple of small projects I’ve been working on when I have spare time.
First the dash use to be just bare aluminum with some ugly sheet metal screws holding to the dash board. I painted it with plasti dip paint and used black door edging to finish off the edge of the sheet metal. I think it looks a lot better but I’m still looking for some better black screws. I just wish I would have taken some more time to remove a couple of the small waves in the metal.

Then I’ve had this catch can lying around the garage for a while. So I made a bracket that would use existing threaded holes to mount it. The pictures don’t show the one extra bracket that I made to help support the top part if the catch can (you can see the hole). That piece was just painted and it way drying. I also use some extra S.S. braided hose and AN fittings I had lying around the garage.
This turned out pretty good…I think. But I might need to shorten the S.S. hose.

The wires you see hanging down are for the "2 step" I wired up....still need to finish routing them better.

yea it looks good though....so you just used thin sheet metal?

turbo80cid

yep, don't remember the gage. but it was thin.
once it's screwed it's pretty strong.

some day down the road I might pull it apart and make it out of thicker metal.
