crazyrichard Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 thnx jim added a piece to the dash so it runs to the tunnel used that as a template and made a new dash out of aluminum .. just sanded on the pic later i could polish that gauges will sit behind .. on final assembly i will put superthin clear "glass) behind it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) thnx guys ! bit further > chassis dryfit changed the dash slightly .. added a piece in the middle , a head-unit in the center .. drilled the gauge openings more conical in the front ....and closed the center console thing on the sides with aluminium plates.. so looking under the dash it looks nice shot with the still stock side pipe ..will tackle those after the interiour custom steering column Edited November 20, 2015 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 cleaned it all up a bit , added a push button steering wheel is loose / not attached to the column so not in the center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 made a top plate on the tunnel , also real alu ... back behind the seats i also made a plate of alu .. all needs lots of work but the start is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 thnx carl !! while some stuff is painted and is drying .. drilled open the stock exhausts .. i will try to make something different but maybe if ha fails i will use these made the headers and attached them to the heads its cold outside and i spray in the shed or outside .. luckely still managed to get a even second coat of primer on it .. i always use rattle cans btw ..

crazyrichard Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 whouw that looks great and no problem ..i dont mind maybe i could try some clear over the thin clear sheet .. interiourtub is painted black .. my firs idea was creme leather ...but now with the alu black was the only option .. now i'm not sure what to do with the steering wheel i wanted to make it wood but i doubt if that looks good on the black and alu .. and just black is way to simple very carefull dryfit ... paint is dry but not hard .. inside of the doors will be alu also later on cut matt's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJUNIOR Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That interior is so sweeet with the aluminium accents, it just looks right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 thnx tony !! the gages are in .. pfft what a job first glued clear sheet on the back ..tryling to avoid glue marks where the gages sit .. then got he decals off and with a drop of water put them backwards against the clear sheer .. tryling to keep them all centered. after that put black cloth electrical tape over it so the gages where fixed ans gaps closed .. painted the steering column chrome .. at this point its dry brushed to match the aluminum more s its less shiney now started a base of kaky brown on the gear knob and steering wheel going to mimick wood and hope it matches with the alu ..otherwide i have to do something else basecoat > dryfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) thnx ! whell jus went on painted the radio black and made the knobs silver ....seats are matt now in stead of semi gloss .....really coming together .. now i love the wooden steering wheel and gear knob .. lifts the whole interiour and makes it less monotone .. those are not done needs someclear coat layers and the shifter shaft needs cleaning .. color idea is to go matt grey on the body with matte black wheels and make it a bit stealth and modern looking .. but with a classis twist Edited November 21, 2015 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
