How's this for the start of a sexy dash.

I like the new rims for this car. Can we get a close up?

Hey, the wheels that are in the photo's are just rollers from the auto-body shop. And the grey faced ones with the polished lip are SHOTT VECTORS in 20"x11" that were just put on as an idea.

Custom fabricated box that will house the Pioneer double DIN head-unit. Made from two pieces and compound cornered 100% with the Mittler Brothers bead-roller.

I like the radio box.

>Made from two pieces and compound welded 100%

What does compound welded mean ?
I assume you formed the indent with the beadroller, then rolled the edges over with a hammer before welding it to the rest of the box. Be interested if you had some other way of forming the indent. I guess you might have also hammer formed that using some wooden die pieces or something also.

We love it to, looks sharp and clean, looks like it belongs there and no added as an afterthought.

And good catch, that was a multi-tasking post mistake by me.
It's a compound cornered piece out of two sheets and TIG welded together along with custom bent/ rolled brackets inside to hold the stereo in place.

Pioneer double DIN mocked into the dash. Clean and simple.

^^What Wayne said.
Very nice.

Evan Iroc-Z 01-29-2015 06:48 AM

There are two reasons I like this thread.

First, mighty fine work!

Second, my name is Evan and if I ignore the fact they are talking about you, it makes me feel like I have some skills. When in reality I could tape two pieces of paper together.

Justin@EntropyRad 01-29-2015 07:20 AM

Wicked on so many levels
 
Great color, perfect wheels, unreal fabrication...just :confused59:

Dash and box mocked into the car, measuring everything out and planning out the center console now. Clean and streamlined is what we're aiming for.

Super nice work. Inner fender and firewall work looks really good and I really like the dash layout.

HPIcustoms 01-30-2015 12:46 PM

Part of the center console fabricated and mocked in.

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!
Well, the '69 Roadrunner has at least. She's currently en route to upholstery this morning. Updates to follow once we have her back.

Interior was completely sound deadened before she left, rollers put on and a parting shot just before she was loaded up.

Front and rear bumpers have been tig welded and cleaned up courtesy of Tyler. They're off to the chrome shop.

The steel used on the dash is 20g.

HPIcustoms 02-27-2015 07:39 AM

And here's a sneak peek of the dash from our upholstery guy. Colour is a little off from the bright lights in their shop, but once we have it all back, we'll get some better shots in our shop.

Very nice build.

HPIcustoms 03-04-2015 09:22 AM

Our custom gauges from SpeedHut. Look amazing in person, highly recommend them if you're looking for custom gauges. Tachometer, speedometer, boost, fuel, water temp and oil pressure.

Teaser shot of the gauge cluster for the RoadRunner. Still needs some polishing up, but damn shes a piece of art that's for sure.

Nice work guys!
Awesome looking gauges.

Sneak peek at the custom GT-10 wheels from Budnik. HUGE shout out to them for these awesome wheels, they look amazing in person, especially with that huge high polished lip.
Fronts are 18x9 and rears are 19x12:
