Over the next few weeks I will be working on a custom dash design for the Rampage project. Will post pics soon as I get them developed and scan them.(still don't have a D. Camera yet) Anyway, I'll have some pics hopefully by Monday. :thumb:

Later
Gary

Also, anyone with a great deal of fiberglass experience willing to lend advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here's some pics of so far. Need to get my new gauges (hopefully soon) and start on the gauge layout. Also replacing flat panel on passenger side with smoked plexi with the Shelby logo on the reverse of it... Anyway when I get that far, I'll get more pics.

So are you just sistering up that second piece to add extra gauges along side stock sized gauge pod or are you going to remove the stock piece effectively extending the size of the gauge pod possible?

I am leaving the peice in the middle, being the add-on is set at a slight angle to the driver.

I cant wait to see what it looks like done,gage mounting in the L body is a little hard.

Funny thing is, I went out back behind the house in my scrap pile the city won't pick up (Waiting for spring clean day) and saw one of my old charger dashes that wad about half the padding missing from it and that is where the "pod" came from. Debating on putting one on the other side too...

Got more pics. Bigger pain in the --- than I thought lol, but I'm getting closer. I decided to mold the bottom air vent panels into the dash too making it one peice since the foam and vinyl isn't on it anymore and it had a decent gap.. Now the stereo goes in from the back, making it a little harder for it to get stolen.

Get more when I make it farther. Didn't get any gauges for christmas, so they gotta come out of my pocket, which is running a little thin. Anyway...enjoy.
