Finished the DSE dash insert.

We measured placement for the gauges, vent, switches and head unit. The tolerances for the gauge holes were very tight so Dick had to cut the crude holes. I smoothed them with a "dental tool". Everything fits nice and snug. We wrapped the gauges with a strip of masking tape to mimic the effect of paint.

Jesus shot the primer, Trevor and I did the wet sanding and then Jesus painted it.

Trevor and I wired the gauges.









Jon is color sanding the car. As soon as he's done I'll post pics. Clayton Machine pedals are installed as well as the Wilwood master cylinder. More updates soon.

Thanks Wayne. Really liking how yours is turning out, too.

Jon finished color sanding and buffing Alchemy today. Only my photography skills could slaughter the spectacular job he and Jesus have done painting the car.

Here's a cellphone shot. When in low light it really shows the "redish" flop of the BMW Valencia orange paint.



Master cylinder, dash harness and Clayton Machine Works pedals installed.





Tomorrow we'll install the dash insert and begin laying the engine harness wiring.
