Seen this done a few times, quite s nifty idea. Just as long as you don't have the model with airbags! A nice bit of carpet for lining to stop everything getting scratched. Use a strong magnetic latch to close it and it is definitely a hidden box:-)

will keep updated on how it goes thinking of recessing the bottom as theres enough room to go a bit deeper(will then have a secret part to hide wallet etc when at the beach etc) it all deppends on if we can actually fit it in through the opening in the dash
Theres only one thing tougher than my truck............. YES DEAR GOING TO DO THE LAWNS NOW

That inverter looks to be about an 80or 100 watt, as long as the limit isn't exceeded it should be ok and the air space at the bottom of it will have to be kept clear, that being said it is right under the dash which gets bloody hot on warm days in the sun, just keep an eye on it from time to time.
I would paint only for rust protection and I would carpet it aswell(to protect phones gps etc.), great idea, excellent job, looks good.
