I agree with Curtis - this is also my favorite thread.
Since I finally took some time off of work this week. I was able to read this thread from the beginning and the attention to detail, your skills, the ideas and your ability to execute them is just incredible. I can't wait to see what happens over the next year.
I almost kinda want to see what you come up with next and maybe use some of your idea's on my car.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

Wow! Thank you very much for the compliments!! Extremely kind. The talent, encouragement and willingness to share in this community is incredible. Couldn't do this project without everyone here. I've received truckloads of help and advice and met some fantastic people. I'm extremely thankful, so many class acts! And Marty.. you and that PT-crack dealer (Tim McGilton) started me on this journey. Then all of the rest of the dealers here on LatG kept me buying!
More progress on the plug for the mold. Wanted to see it in one color so I put the first coat of primer down. Should be a pretty interesting mold.
Lots more to come, A/C vents are next.
Does the vertical piece between the trans tunnel and the bottom of the day angle towards the driver like the dash does? Hard to tell from the one mock up pic.

Curtis, that's called a center-stack. Cos the audio and other components are typically 'stacked' there.

Hey Curtis. It will be squared up,not angled. Messed it with it quite a bit to make sure all the controls were in reach even while belted in...i originally thought it would be angled but wasn't necessary and it allowed me some room for a storage shelf on the bottom. And just looked better.

Always a balance between function and look. Sounds like you’ve achieved both. Well done!
