I know all of this looks super rough but thought sending some of the process would be enjoyed. Not promising perfection but fine tuning is coming soon.
Everything that is currently wood (dash and lower dash panels) are just "plugs", I will make fiberglass molds of these plugs and then make proper fiberglass parts as the final piece. Made a quick cardboard template of the glove-box-delete panel and intended to make a wood mold from that....the cardboard ended up straight and stout enough that I decided to skip the wood mold process for this very simple part. Attachment 80354 Some radius work with filler. Attachment 80355 A splash of filler primer for a final sanding. Attachment 80356 2 layers of 1.5oz mat and 1 layer of cloth. Attachment 80357 Fast forward quite a bit and have this panel mounted in place. Fair bit of work to get the flanges to hold this piece. Still lots of clean up to be done but making this panel easy to access and remove was important as I'm going to mount some electrical behind it.. And really paying attention to the panel gaps here to account for .090 for 2 layers of leather or alcantera - keep the interior guys from hating me later. Taking every opportunity to keep ingress/egress for your feet at least reasonable without being a yoga instructor. Not much room with the door bars but compromise is always part of our lives! Attachment 80358 Pulled the passenger side of the center console off it's mold so I could reinforce some of the sections. Attachment 80359 |
This is like magic for me. Amazing.

More of the process; getting the flanges for the glove box delete panel all spaced properly so the gaps will be correct when the real parts get covered.
The glove box panel and the center console sides are the final parts, all others will get molded and lightweight parts made from there. Soon. Attachment 80426 The fuse block will be accessible behind this panel so it needed to be easily removed. Attachment 80427 Attachment 80428 Was a balance of making the panel cover as much of the evap as possible but still leaving some room to swing your feet through. Attachment 80429 |
