Check out the pics of my new interior? Finally got most of it done and my new gauges are all working along with my interior lighting. Had to hide the still exposed wiring for the pics. What do you guys think of the wood dash? Really wanted carbon fiber but this was a much cheaper alternative. More of a cruiser than a race car - for the time being. Now the drive train needs some work, but so far so good!

Nice grain. I like the way you used a horizontal grain across the dash and vertical on the console - nice detail.

What gauges are in the console and what do the toggles control?

That looks so good, wanna do the same thing. you didn't happen to trace it out before you mounted it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
I could sure use the template or dimensions or whatever you have. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
Looks totally awesome.

Thanks guys! I used some exotic veneer I purchased on-line and made it myself. It came out pretty good but I know where all the flaws are. Only one of the toggle switches are functional and control the interior courtesy lights under the dash (you can see the passengers side one in the photos). the other are for future needs. The console has the gas gauge and a voltmeter. I put a 911 oil temp and pressure gauge into the dash - I really like this set-up.

Note the extra heel pad I put in! I have less than 500 miles and the heel part by the accelerator is almost worn through? Disappointing.

I used the metal I removed from the dash as the template. The metal that is held on by two-sided tape that is under the stock vinyl. Tried to use the removed vinyl buy it was not stiff enough.

I'll see what othe pics I have?

All I can hear in my head is you walking around quoting the Indian guy from the movie "Short Circuit"
