I have been most fortunate to acquire an aluminum dash panel for my Bubble Top project! The two aluminum dash panels that I know of are not as finished as the stock pot metal dashes. I have decided to keep the dash in its' original raw state (clear coated). I am sanding out a ton of the imperfection in the casting, but some are going to remain. After I complete the sanding, the panel will be media blasted with plastic beads, They do not etch as bad as glass.
I thought that I would do a comparison of the aluminum vs. the stock pot metal unit.
Stock unit: 13.8 lbs to 14.2 lbs, (multiple times on the bathroom scale)
Aluminum Unit: 5.2 lbs.
