Just when it was looking good I notice that youve cocked it right up......  :-\


The notch for the steering column is on the wrong side..... so close, yet......  ;D

Seriously, my last race car had a beaten ali dash nicely rounded and it really looked the part. This is many steps further again. I can see a heap of dash constructions starting really soon.

Again the value of this site is on show.....

Thank you all. The car is not my design.It is based on a Rorty R16 but has been stretched and the rear suspension is all my design.  The R16 as drawn was too boxy looking  .

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

LOL!!!!  Thanks for the compliment. It ALREADY has power steering in it! And as for air conditioning I will use an ice based helmet cooler for the long hot runs. Same as a helmet pumper but with a heat exchanger in line. You may have seen them.  I have a  place  under the dash all set up for that unit.

Dash looks very nice!  How many total hours do you have in it?

Due to getting myself back up to speed on FG work I took a bunch of extra time experimenting along the way.If I had just dove in and did the work necessary I'd say I would have had 20 hours in it total. There are many more choices now than 4 years ago in resin and catalysts.m Then there are the newer release products that make this stuff much easier than last time. I have the number for anyone interested in getting the "scoop" on the latest stuff.
