I agree! :bow:

I'm speechless :hail: :willy: :wow: :thumbsup: :cheers: :yes: and one more:bow:

WOW!

Can you take a few moments and explain how you are able to build the curved parts (like the dash), and what it takes to make parts symetrical, etc.

Very impressive.

English wheel, plannishing hammer, Pullmax, shrinker/stretcher, a large collection of hammers and dollies, and a whole lot of practice. We make a lot of paper and metal templates along with wooden bucks to keep things the same side to side. Each piece and shape is different, so it is hard to tell you what to do in a general situation. I would reccomend taking a sheet metal working class to get going on the basics. Ron Fournier, Lazze, Ron Covell and others are out there putting on good classes. Ron Covell also has a lot of books and videos available.

Here are a few more pictures of the gauge pod. Classic Instruments is doing a custom gauge assembly to fit in the pod. It will have a ditital Speedo with a large center mounted tach.

are you gonna make your own gauges? or who is gonna make 'em?
I love the dasbhoard, but I see an alignment problem with the center console and the transmission tunnel... overall looks amazing, I love everything about it, I can't wait to see the engine in

Unbelievable! :wow:
