This is just rough cut on the initial stage. It will get fine tuned in the finishing stages.

wow, wish I could tell you buy my keyboard caught fire before I could come up with a number. Your guy is good.

Impressive!

Roughly how much milling time so far?

My guess is 6 to 8 hours to rough that out...

The machine time is the easy part, getting the part all programmed and fixtured properly is the time consuming part.

Make me a deal on some custom LS Valve covers this weekend

I wont have them yet this weekend. But soon. These dashes have slowed up my other parts. But soon enough.

Time for a bigger CNC mill, looks like you've run out of travel in X on your dash panel, two set-ups suck. On the next machine, make sure you have enough travel to make the rear bumper pad (70 Chevelle) out of aluminum.

Rodger look's great so far.
