Ouch!

But anytime you can post about Neil Lea on lat-g, can't be a bad thing.

Well here is some progress pics for the dash design we are working on. The bent tube is just there for lay out. The switches on the dash are from a Ford GT. No thing new there, but we thought they fit the vibe we were shooting for.

We are working on bumper lay out and designing bezels for the lotus taillights.

Looks awesome but I have to wonder about a booster seat.

Those gauge pod's stick up kinda high.Will the owner be able to see over the top of them.We wouldn't want him too have a hard time seeing what was out in front of the car and run over a small child playing in the street.

Dash looks good.

Stielow's gonna have to post here though, and often, to get this thing over the 500K views Greg has targeted.

I think I would lower the guages to keep the profile near the bottom of the winshield for a bit cleaner appearance. love the concept.

It's no higher then stock. We lowered the top of the dash well over an inch. Plus the dash rolls more down hill toward the driver.
