Damn!!! :o :o :o That dash looks awsome!!! Great work fabr !
Thanks for the compliment. I just noticed the key switch wasn't in place. It DOES fit correctly though when fully in place.

No,that was done by making an undersize form from foam and bondo. Mat and resin was layered over that,coated with high build catalyzed polyester primer/surfacer,finish sanded ,break out foam,sprayed with high build polyester primer surfacer for final texture,then painted. Reason for no permanent mold is because of compound angles that make removal impossible from a one piece mold.

This is old topic stuff. I was just trying out new camera. Here's a link to the thread about how it's done.

So long as they don't have fangs they can live if they invade my space. He got a quick toss outside. Just a little thing of about 30".

One of the things I have been dreading is building the header. Well tonite /afternoon -7 hours-I am done with the damn thing. Actually it went VERY well. I bought the SS bends from Columbia River Mandrel Bending and couldn't be happier.  All I have to do tomorrow is route the exhaust from the header to the turbo(piece of cake!)  and that little hurdle is a thing of the past. GREAT!!!!!! Pics tomorrow.

BTW,SS is a piece of cake to weld. great stuff to work with. Like so many things it seems like those that know how protect their craft by telling everyone how difficult it is. BS. Easier to weld SS than mild!
