Here is one of the first upgrades I did to our rig. The original dash had many broken places along with the tv for back up camera. I used the old dash for a template relocating the gauges to better more visible locations. Also added new gps where the old camera was and added an aftermarket camera in the left upper corner. This was the first of many will show you all more soon.

Wow what a beautiful job, what material did you use. I know what a bear of a job that was with the way the gauges and lights are connected to the dash I only know of one other guy that has attempted to change a 99 up Monaco dash and that was Rex Darley (RIP) and he was a super do it yourself guy and could do about anything, he replaced the dash in his 01 or 02 Dip ( I gave him one I had in my shop that I didn't need) he told me it was a bear. If you have any other pictures of the dash job I would love to see them. I replaced my driver side console with aluminum anodized black, I don't think I will be cracking it with the park brake anymore.

I do not have any while making the dash, I did not find this forum till last week. The material used was called MaxMetal, it is used for signs.We own and operate a sign and apparel company. It is aluminum with a plastic inside and measures a little over 1/8" in thickness. So it was easy to bend and cut the holes in but rigid enough to make the improvement. The hardest part to me was to cut out the "idiot Light section" and install in to the new dash. In all it was a couple of weeks after work. Then matched the outer color of the coach in vinyl and wrapped it. Topped it off with a new steering wheel. While doing this I also changed out the rear camera to an aftermarket, and put back up lights next to it on a switch. Thanks for the compliment.
