P500 P500 glove boxes for sale

Basically set the distance between the black and grey tips on the sharpies the same as the lip around the box.
Then run the black tip up in and around the pattern on the dash where the box should go. (Around the outside of the warning label area). It's easy lines to follow, the dash around the warning label is etched / molded.

The grey line becomes the "cut here" line.

Works like a scribe.

*** But re-MEASURE for yourself BEFORE you cut anything. 6.5" is the widest line you should cut across the bottom. Mine was exactly 6.5.

If 2 sharpies are too wide, sub the black sharpie for a common pencil to shorten that rim length up.

Remember you can always cut a little more, but never add it back.

I wanted to showcase how well Choogin designed the box to fit the layout of the dash. Excellent.

Thank you so much Jshell for the detailed instructions! I will be doing that when i install mine!

Don't forget to paint it first MO, outside too to prevent rust, and post pics of the completed project. The utility knife method works, but has potential hazards to oneself and the P5 dash. If you have a dremmel tool in your tool box, I found it works very well also. Good luck!!

Any way you could build a few out of aluminum ? I know welding is a bigger hassle having to TIG them.

I could try it but I would be concerned that the aluminum would Crack or possibly break while bending them !

Have you tried working any of these up with UHMW?

Due to its thickness you'd loose already precious inside storage space. You really can't improve on this second generation box!

How thick would it need to be?

Couldn't be certain of that but I'd think thicker than the 16-18 gauge that they are presently.

Keep them how you make them Joe . Very nice job ! box installed . I used a roto zip to cut the dash . If I didnt have under hood storage box the install would have taken15 minutes . Including reinstalling the warning label .

Does the underhood storage box get in the way?

Just makes it easier to attache the nut on the perfectly designed box . I have an emt aluminum box and it is very easy to remove so it was no big deal . I spent more time trying to put the nut on then I did removing the box to do it .

That's definitely a first, never seen anyone do that before. Very original.
I'm looking at that hinge, what the...? Looks much beefier! No problems with mine though.
Pretty sure us first rounders paid a lot less anyway.

I see what you mean. I forgot that you were supposed to attach the underwood storage box lol. I never bolted mine down because I wanted to be able to take it out etc.
