I was sitting around thinking of ways to set my car apart and have been working on a way to use either granite or marble as a dash. I know it sounds crazy, but I think a nice granite would go awsome with my silver grey car. A white car would look great in white marble. I am working on getting some so I can start fooling around with shaping it. The real bitch is getting the dimention of the whole piece figured in a way so as not to necessitate a really thick piece.


Now I need to get me some tools...Harbor freight, here I come! I cant wait, I have never heard of anything like this before. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Sweet....be sure you take out a U.S. Patent on it right away I'm sure the folks in Stuttgart will want to copy it for next years models.

Not sure if the spelling is right, but would give you the look your after, and you can make any color you want, but its not cheap...

Dr. Evil, You could use styrafom (sp) ,cut the basic shape out with a exto,then cover with layers of spackling.
Paint, then use one of the kits in the hobby stores to get your granite look.
You could cover the dash top with that red furry stuff.
Cover the roll bar with it too. You could get some small
red xmas balls to hang in the rear window. Also find a set of those plaid seats. Bring that to the Hershey swap ,and you would get all kinds of offers. Dave (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)
