Default made a switch box today

ive wanted a nice switch box to place my switches in a conveint spot and still have it look some what stock and clean.. and didnt want to drill into my dash.. i have this cupholder and i love it.. and this is what it originally looked like




then after












Obviously im gonna have to re do it witch sux.. but i had some ABS stock laying around from an earlier project.. i just cut up and slapped it on there.. my bondo/filler didnt hold up well and in the one pic you can see the horendous body work.. my garage isnt lit up very well so it was hard to see when it was in primer.. started to crack on the way home today.. kinda pissed me off.. i bought some better filler and some resin to strengthin it so im gonna refinish it and hopefully itll turn out better.. anyways.. started out good..just wished the finishing would taken better.. i also didnt prep sand the plastic to take the filler.. i should used a 120 grit so the filler at something to bite to since the plastic is a smooth shiney surface.. lessons learned.. lol

also made a killer spot to mount my new sat radio

looks like a rigged lunch box you stoll from some kid [&:] hahaha no what you really should do it is make it again and then go to a store and get some fiberglass and resin and do it that way. it would come out awsome and be super strong
