new dash

[expo5.0]

first pictures of it- started friday.

 

[Good Times]

Looks like the inside of my car...with no paneling in at all. How bigs that screen, looks like it's atleast a 20" wide?

 

[jimbo74]

wow....

 

[terdrocket]

Wow, you gots balls.
Somewhere along the line I would have chickened out and put it all back together.
Probably right before the cutting began.

1 question, center channel or up front subs?

17"

the speakers up top are a center channel.

i plan on running a 4" coaxial pair center channel, two sets of 5.25" components, and two sets of 6.5" mid bass drivers up front now.

wont that sucker get you pulled over?
This is a big project!

 

[have2goski]

i guess it is safe to say he will not be retaining the passenger airbag. I thought there were laws about that sort of thing...maybe it is just the driver's one

 

[expo5.0]

drivers will be gone too. will be a billet wheel from lecarra soon as i get around to it.

this is not a big project... well it might be but i'm only giving myself a week to complete it while at the sametime redoing about half of my other interior stuff.

the law says you can't have stuff on your dash or hanging from your rear view mirror. this IS my dash. i doubt many cops will care anyways though. i can still see much better than you can out of 90% of the cars on the road. did you notice i also lack a rear view mirror? maybe i should put one in so i an look at this-

 

[Saleen_SR71]

lol put a 7" widscreen as your rearview...

if i had the resources and skills to be doing fiberglassing like that, i would... but the main things stopping me are lack of a secondary vehicle and a garage!

 

[expo5.0]

um- look at where my rearview should be? is 6.4" 4:3 aspect close enough?

 

[Saleen_SR71]

wow i couldnt tell... good stuff...

you got a tv under the hood too?

 

[expo5.0]

nah, no tv under the hood. i am trying to go as big as i can with tv's that are actually individually useful.

shucks, there goes the TV under the truck on the spare idea

 

[bmxking5]

Wow , this seems like a pretty big project. I bet it will look pretty sweet though when your done. Good luck

 

[BeauJ]

That sir, will win you some trophies.

 

[ExplorerDMB]

Yeah, that is a very nice project. I was starting to wonder about fiberglass/custom dashes - glad to see it. Can't wait to see it all together.

[nycejokes]

wow. I am by far the most intrigued by this project. I can't wait 'till the project is done. I am a big fan of fiberglassing and modding. well, I can't do either, but I would love to learn and one day be ab le to do some of my own. I personally would have bought another dashboard and do it with that. I am such a wuss. not good luck, great luck man.hopefully it will come out to your liking. keep posting pics for us the impatient ones

 

[expo5.0]

well i'll snap a few pictures soon. i've been concentrating on redoing my fiberglass doors and two of my headliner pieces since that needs to get done quick soon. however, the dash is pretty much done.

 

[410Fortune]

nycejokes, there is no reason you cannot do it, you jsut have never tried Dont be scared of fiberglass, its really ewasy to work with.

Lets see thos pics! I wanna see what you did with the heater vents
