Well played!! LOL.
Yeah, struggled here. SpeedHut just came out with these new gauges and the only option they have right now is the a GPS speedo that maxes at 120. They will do the trans input coming soon but I needed to pull the trigger now so I can take the next step with the dash. Guess I'll have to stay away from 4th gear!

Here is the start of the foam work.

[Goosesdad]

Have the sill plates mostly inked, just the overall shape....lots more to come here with these. Needed them placed to insure the door panels fit. Boring but important.

[Goosesdad]

More boring details..... Ripped down a 1/2" piece of MDF to 1/4"wide, then hit it with a half-round router bit and then cut some kerfs in so it would bend.


Then CA glued it using a scrap piece to keep the radius accurate.

[Goosesdad]

A little fiberglass repair tip someone might find useful. Had to lower the door lever so had to relocate the hole in the door panel.


Scape with masking tape and a little release wax on the masking tape. Resin doesn't stick to masking tape much but wax insures an easy release.


Hot glued the scrap to the front of the door panel.


This the back of the door panel with the glass laid down with a little vinyl ester resin.


Resin cured and backing removed. Once sanded down the patch will disappear. Boring, but it might help someone.
