Coming along great Gary.What seats are those you're using up front they look darn comfortable...

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Dave , the seats are from a 2019 BRZ. They do fit me well but will have to be recovered with to match the interior finish.

Hi Gary. Laser cut holes for the switches? Looks like a small radius into the holes? Does the plate have a slight radius/shape to it? Did this after engraving the letters? Thanks for the info!

Goosedad....

The switches snap into rectangle holes in a 18 ga steel mount panel. The face plate is 1/8 aluminum and the oval holes and lettering were milled in on a CNC machine by a friend of mine. The face plate and the mount panel are spaced apart by .200" and between them is a LED dimmable light strip. The light glows up through the oval gap around the switch. The aluminum face plate is flat and is anodized. I decided not to backlight the lettering and keep the dash more simple.

Thanks Marty. I do this stuff for a living every day at work. Over the years I have worked at race shops and hot rod shops and have been part of some pretty cool builds. I'm really excited about the car I'm doing at work right now because I have almost a free hand on the build. Which usually isn't the way the customer does it.
And before anyone asks.... I can't discuss it until its revealed....Sorry

Hi all.
Yes I'm still here.
Pulled the car out of the corner of the shop 2 weeks ago. Been mostly planning door panels and plumbing and figuring out all that little stuff that needs to be done.
Ordered a set of sport mirrors off Ebay. Figured my parts list for the AC lines and intercooler lines.
So ....no pics of anything on my car.. but how about a pic of my friends tpye 65 coupe I was working on.
