Here is the link to the STL files for the Speedhut gauge bezels: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4807452

[@craigpeel5983]

I love this build but what happened to the death cart?

[@harlanopie4345]

Thanks so much for these files, I was getting ready to write you to find out if there was any way to get them. I’m doing the exact same gauge install! I have a 1971 240 Z with conversion to Jenvey ITBs and speedhut gauges. This is awesome!

[@shagirani5518]

Its a good day when you guys upload...

[@mikpiece469]

I really agree with this

[@jarrodvw9794]

You should sell the STL files for the gauge bezels, I don't have a 240z but I bet a lot of people would love them. If you don't want to sell them you could post them for free on thingiverse or a similar web site and you could still make some money from tips. That said the dash came out amazing!

[@austinvernier3608]

Agreed. I would pay 20+$ for those files.

[@andylewis7360]

Or just upload the STLs to shapeways.com or materialise.com and people can order them in a variety of colours/ materials.

[@randomgc]

This is still the most underrated car channel on youtube. It's also the only OM606 build I'll be following on YT, for more support lol.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

Brought a tear to my eye. The boys are all grown up, and taking the time to do things right... 😂

[@gregh7457]

dad? is that you?

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

@@gregh7457 go clean your room

[@Hangovna]

I'd wrap that dash in a foam backed leather, would look killer with some stitching and would hide all the issues. The flocking process turned out pretty good too!

[@ThatCarGuyYT]

Making a hole at the beginning and the end of the crac helps to stop the crac expending. Little tip for the guys wanted to restore a cracked dash.

[@TheHungrySlug]

I love these longer and in depth videos. I even learnt something too.

[@ZoltarSoulFunk]

To stop the dash ever cracking, just bring it out only at night. On the Wangan.

[@pietarisalminen2250]

making the night even darker with the smoke

[@KoaGuy]

I started watching you guys right around the beginning of the 240z build and I have never been disappointed by the creativity of the build(s). Keep up the great work guys.

[@joshlane6560]

Half hour well spent watching this masterpiece come to life

[@a_casual_gamur1243]

Hell yeah guys that dash looks killer

[@all4runner316]

Ok, you got me. 8 episodes in and I just have to subscribe. Love your work, will be doing something similar. Keep it up.👍💯

[@dieseldabberdoug8285]

For the dog! What the flock! 😆 Looks good!

[@shaunpc2512]

I gotta admit guys that I was a little sceptical about how the dash would turn out but you guys freaking killed it on that one as looks totally awesome. I’ve used that type of filler on motorcycle panels and it’s incredibly durable, I seriously doubt that it’ll ever reopen those cracks in your lifetime, like I sad awesome job guys 👌🏻

[@adamvanriesen401]

That dash turned out great.

[@umbuibui1]

One of my top 5 channels!

[@gafrers]

Fantastic job, the results speak for themselves

[@ericb636]

Just put Speedhut gauges all thru my 240 and mannnn it’s so easy to hook up and enjoy, I love it

[@tommygunnz7154]

Dash looks super sick! The green glass if it has a layer all over the top you will be fine no cracks for a long while.👌 well done guys

[@johnparrish9215]

You guys did a damn fine job on that dash, I didn't think it would come out as well as it did, it was pretty destroyed.

[@toddcoleman5388]

Next time you do a dashboard mix actual bondo with fiberglass resin and hardener. It basically makes a bullitproof putty. Perfect for dashboards.

[@sargspudguts7034]

That dash turned out sweet. Will definitely give flocking a try in the future. Those gauges look awesome too, in the factory set up.

[@c-bois1320]

Dash turned out great

[@tdswaps]

Tint the windows and windshield with a clear UV barrier and it will keep the dash from cracking, plus it will dramatically reduce interior temps.

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

The dash came out great. Love the Speedhut stuff. Regards from Ireland.

[@dallacemarable1387]

Great restoration of the dash. The flocking looks amazing. I think if you take care of it with a window reflector it'll hold together for a while.

[@MaNNeRz91]

Don't even need to take my dash out but now I want to 🤔🤔

[@keithk2926]

Great job on that dash gentleman 👍

[@auyocross72]

Wow! Nice work! That dash looks incredible. I have a 1972 240Z & I'm now I know another option if I ever need to restore the dash.

[@williamaguiar14]

I think that fiberglass bondo will hold together better than that clutch did

[@Nile9063]

I really love the attention to detail you enforce on this build! Saw this dash on Instagram and thought it looked awesome! And I still think the same... I hope it won't crack! Those gauges are dope though!

[@paulbailey3089]

Dash came up a treat!👏👏

[@Patraquashe]

Really nice looking gauges I must say. Good job!

[@modestprince5826]

Loving the z content, the z may or may not be my new favorite car

[@blackoffice2]

Отличный проект, красивое легкое купе на ужасающе мощном моторе - то что надо. И шикарные видео, очень уютные, лучше чем всякое ламбо)) Спасибо большое! И если треснет - хер с ним)) сделаете следующую лучше) An excellent project, a beautiful lightweight coupe with a terrifyingly powerful engine - just what you need. And gorgeous videos, very cozy, better than any lambo)) Thank you very much! And if it cracks - fuck it)) make the next one better)

[@ezekilla123]

Looks good. Love watching this build come together

[@silverburrito]

That dash came out SICK! Makes me rethink the setup I'm running and definitely started looking at speedhut gauges

[@silverburrito]

It feels like NFS Underground 2 going through their options🥰

[@DevinW86]

Love the dash and gauges. Keep it brother.

[@natewilson1791]

Awesome! I’m halfway through doing the same thing on my dash. This is reassuring

[@jakebarron4127]

Maybe invest in a dash cover although itll cover that awesome finish. Good job🔥

[@lucasbledsoe3623]

That dash turned out amazing. I need to do that to my 240sx. Thanks for the idea and info.

[@scottw2995]

Awsome video. Sickest Z build i have seen. Makes me want to go harass my dad into getting his 240 back on the road.

[@andylewis7360]

That dash is AWESOME! I’m sure it’ll stand up to the sun, but just in case, why not cover it in Boosted Shades lenses? LOL! Or maybe Factor 50 sunscreen?? Hehehe!

[@juangouveia8098]

great video... keep them coming. love the longer format. ps: black dont crack!

[@candycornpeeps]

Love the progress. I have a flocking kit that I have been wanting to do my gauge cluster hood cover thing. It has super bad glare in the california sun. It is literally shiny black plastic. Also please more doggo in the videos.

[@henryhelfman8478]

I was expecting to see that large open crack bridged with some type of mechanical strap (riveted sheet metal, etc) before filling with foam and would expect that spot to split again first if it fails but hopefully not with all the work that went into it. Dash looks beautiful.

[@deadlyduck11]

dash looks pretty good!

[@1cdelay]

Great episode. Dash came out great!

[@seanprice8271]

Dash came out awesome, going to do something similar on my cracked 63.5 Galaxie Fastback. Keep up the good work!

[@gregnash7918]

Oh yeah what about a 77 honda cvcc with a 3.6 subaru rear/mid engine trans you get it. Scary dangerous fast. Love ya dudes. Great channel 👍

[@trentkearney]

Looks great Fella's! Hopefully it will last. Bring on the bbq montage....fire

[@adamrichardson2227]

Hope you used ASA or ABS plastic. PLA melts in a hot car. I print car parts and my PLA phone holder melted in the summer. ABS is good for heat resistance but ASA is better if also exposed to UV light. Also, ABS and ASA melt in acetone, which means you can vapor smooth them and get a perfect finish easily.

[@rustyshackleford8299]

From what I saw, they printed them from PETG.

[@chrisk.8982]

Dashboard came out awesome! I think its gonna last a long time

[@JoesGarage831]

You should try some of that carbonfiber mix filament for your printer. Gives a nice look.

[@J_I_Was]

That was a good episode 👏

[@mitchrichey177]

Beautiful dash!

[@MrCybergladiator]

I'm loving this build! Keep up the good work!

[@scottshipley]

I think that might just be your best work so far. I can't believe how good it looks. Definitely wasn't expecting it to turn out like that when I saw what it looked like to begin with!

[@josephskeie]

Ahhh the sound of sanding threw headphones lol

[@SpearTheSeas]

I wanna do a build like this but in my 1992 volvo 240DL wagon

[@nooteboom8630]

Hi, I'm from Latvia, and I think dashboard will survive even in tornado 🌪️. 😂

[@christianwc9458]

Nice white 124/140 at 2:56 , btw keep it up with the diesel 2jz👍👍💯

[@grey1wa]

I've watched your cobbled together stuff which is fun:) But Damn that Dash looks incredible with the gauges in! Great Job Guys!

[@grey1wa]

And no I don't think it will crack right away

[@robertcercel4078]

The dashboard is 1000% better than stock

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

Damn, those are nice gauges... i think i need some speed hut in my build...

[@dumbwaiter3644]

Still liking it all

[@NateRist]

I've looked at speed hut gauges before, but it wasn't til watching your last video that I realized they had custom gauge options that can be done with your own graphics, so I ordered a set for my 1980 SA22C RX-7 which will give me more than I ever wanted and now after seeing the result of the dash you restored I'm probably going to go that route too as the dash cap I had on melted in the Texas sun, so definitely not going that route again. Thanks for all the great and useful content

[@BoostWorx]

I'm also glad you love me more than other subscribers 😂🤣

[@victormacias9388]

Ima gonna start building my 3000gt this weekend and watching your guys videos just hype me up to finish it as fast as I can

[@Burtonomous62]

I think your dash will be alright its looks sturdy

[@tonycrispin]

Holy shit that dash turned out nice!

[@royalporter3102]

The dash is sweet!

[@joonassumanen1062]

Love the dash

[@RWBJeff]

Polyvance has a great product for restoring dashes. Basically a flexible plastic weld, you v notch the cracks, plastic weld, then use there flexible bondo type product. sand down and they have a vinyl spray that's textured. I redid my RWB and 4 years later its still perfect. I leather wrapped my dash and window toppers. Your dash turned out amazing, great job.

[@joshbullers14]

Been waiting all week for the vid

[@fryreartechnology7611]

I'd love to learn how to build a custom dash. My Nissan isn't that bad but I would love to know what it take to build a new dash. I'd like to use car parts like Jeep AC vents like the round ones in mine 2015, late model GM AC control, a nice build in screen for the radio and one of the 'touch screen' Holly instrument displays for rev's, speed, gas level, temps and so on. But not a race dash that doesn't match the flow of the car. Maybe I'm dreaming too much...

[@bockwurstmensch]

What type of filament did you use? I hope anything other than PLA. PLA gets soft at 150°f. If the sun shines on it it'll melt

[@samjohnson7325]

It’s petg, mostly out of availability. They are recessed in the dash and in the middle of the car so it should never really see direct sunlight

[@MrShads813]

Im an engineering geek and a grease monkey 🔧 this channel gives me life 😂👌🏾

[@jergunsjunk]

It will crack eventually, y'all didnt terminate the ends of splits. And the underside could use a tickle. Looks awesome though. Great work

[@martindinner3621]

^^this^^

[@daryvel02]

Omg ! Excited

[@rocketplane]

That dash looks AMAZING. I look forward to seeing it together.

[@rollindolin]

I did literally the exact same thing with my 240sx dash (with crappy foam too). I know for sure it held up for the 2 years I owned it in the Hawaii sun!

[@HondaRue]

Got me thinking about this swap as an option... keep thinking my cressida is close to being finished but in the hunt for something very different it's got me thinking once again. Going to be a long night of google searching. Thanks...

[@burgersandburnouts]

Everybody knows ya'll in top 3 best KZbin Chanels out there , love your VIDS and energy 🤘🏻

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

Love the dashboard love the gauges I think y'all are doing real good Justice on that 240Z

[@Sparkystacoma]

I can't wait for the next vid

[@t.vancouver4804]

What sort of badge are we going on the hood- Datsun, Mercedes, custom? Great content team.

[@brokeandboosted1238]

Now you need to get a fuzzy steering wheel cover to match your fuzzy dash😂

[@DoogieLabs]

3D printed PLA or ABS is not suitable for use in the dashboards of cars. I printed a Pi 3.5" LCD pod for my dash out of PETG and it is liquid now. I also had a battery / circuit holder warp real bad inside a 50's megaphone that I restored, just from leaving the megaphone in the car on a summer day. My recommendation is to get your parts printed in a more exotic material from shapeways or another 3D printing service to have parts that won't warp from being in a hot car. Keep up the great work!

[@4mautomotive]

Flok works good

[@robertmetcalf3380]

Nice dash!!! Won't crack.

[@dkongul]

it will crack again, but not from a repair. It will crack from a new spot.

[@johnbearclaws3300]

That dash turned out so well I wasn’t expecting it after seeing the condition it was in originally

[@garchompy_1561]

that outro was a bit loud, my ears are in pain ;-; cant wait for the next vid

[@jamiegambill3111]

so sweet!

[@dariobenkovic4761]

Awesome diesel rocket. That dash should be fine for a long time

[@acurarl9929]

Add pure resin to that short hair to thin it out a lil and it will spread as smooth as bondo straight up.

[@powerlitep17]

if that cracks it'll be from the 606's torque

[@solomonbarrett9565]

Looking good, what seats you guys thinking of using?
