More progress pictures
First test fit
Added fiberglass to the bottom..and test fit another 50 times while sanding it down to fit.
Almost time for some bondo and sanding/smoothing to fit the dash perfectly.

Thanks Olds... I haven't stopped on this stinking pod project all week. And why wash the car? You are sending more snow. (Actually washing it like a week ago)

Last round of pics for a while. Thought I had more of the small defects etc worked out. Personally, not happy with the end result, I'll be replacing my dash at some point with to get rid of a crack that is developing since I bought the car. At that time I'll have a dash out of the car to use for better fitment. Overall it came out good, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and this isn't meeting my standards. Color looks better in person than in the pics... it actually matches up with the A pillars
On to the pictures.
In the car, notice it doesn't fit the dash quite right.
OMG..these things work?
Will be picking up some tinting material for the timing commander, that things a nightlight
Little vid to show the "lag" from a mechanical gauge versus the gauge in the dash.
Yeah..I know..it'* what was on the radio..lol I wasn't paying attention until after I got the vid loaded.
