Damn that first car needs a Camber Kit! But I like the originality....

Ill have my glassed dash on the 1st of june hopefully....its gettign glassed and the Profec b spec 2 and the FATT and SAFC molded in...cool stuff

I've seen a few cars with the molded out taillights like that.... How do you signal? And what is that dragon looking thingy where the airbag is supposed to be?

you cant tell in the photos but he has 12" l.e.d. strips at the bottom of the bumper at each side. and its on air for those who think he needs a camber kit. and before he went all show he said he was running low 12s i think.



o and i dont think you can tell but his wiper cowl is smooth... and his a-piller is molded to the fender

phil

awful awful steering wheel and mirrors on the side, absolutely horrid! i do like the dash, thats pretty nice.

I fiberglassed my dash and molded a gauge pod to it. It is all primed and ready to paint. I'll post some pictures once my lazy ass signs on from home and uploads them.

The whole interior will be painted within the next week or so and my AFC is getting put in a pod I made an molded to the headliner.

that car looks sweet.. im looking for someone that has made their own custom dash that i could get some advise off of ..

I know of someone on this site that had a fiberglassed dashboard. Basically it was a stock dash with a coat of resin about 1/16 inch thick and a molded lcd in airbag. ne way
I acquired this dash and the glass started chipping and cracking everywhere.
So i basically redid the whole thing but unlike the previous owner i used 1 layer of fiberglass cloth where ever i could and wherever it formed easily. 1 layer of cloth goes a really long way, becuase when you are glassing over a stock dash(vynl) you have to keep in mind the vynl underneath will expand and deform with heat , etc...
so will the the resin you glassed it with if you dont use any cloth to give it sturdiness.
Hope that helps some.
