[HommerSimpson]

You can coment any way you want... Remmber its MY car...
Its obviously not done.. Im unemployed.. Had to move...so I can only do so much.. It will be coverd in black leather.. and the gauge pods are brazillian cherry.. I will use more cherry around other things to... rest will be padded leather...the 8 inch touch screens piviots so i can adjust it to were ever there is no glare... Im very happy how its turned out.. and yes i can see over everything... Its acually not much taller then the factory one... just looks like it is.. I can see the front edge of hood so they do not block vision at all...

::}

very very unique. I think it will look really nice once you get it wrapped in black leather.

I have been waiting for this thread since I saw you start your dash a long while back...

Looks better and better each time, cant wait for the finished product.

"whew!!!

 

[85celicasupra]

Brazilian Cherry lacquers up really nicely, I think you could carry a really nice black leather and Brazilian Cherry theme in it and have it look really nice.

I once thought you were insane, but now I'm liking it. Can't wait to see it finished! I just hope the height doesn't end up bothering you.

The more information you put infront of you..The more you know...
Also its a Redundent system... both mechanical and ele systems ( aka the gauges) I dont like breaking down...Why im going chevy
the 3x9 lcd between the tach and speedo... will have a night vision camera and display warning information.. the radio/tv is just that.... mainly a radio.. i might hook camera to that to for rearview vision... The 8 inch lcd is for the computer... maft pro... watching my stocks :} lol and well its a computer... everyone should have a PC in there car... :}

P/S: anyone local wana test drive motor then buy it ?

Did you hire Bob Vila or Bob the builder to do your dash?

im just bustin your balls, looks better than my cracked up dash. good luck, hope it turns out the way you want it to.

 

[tbcmorris]

There's defiently better ways of putting vital information in front of you. You don't need 20 gauges to tell you how your engine is running

 

[YouGotSpooled]

Dont care for the big tach or speedo, but thats me. Are you actually using those gauges? Or buying some nice ones?

I think it will pretty cool when its wrapped in black leather.

I've always liked your dash idea, now I love it.

It's going to look really nice when it's done, I'm looking forward to seeing a finished product.

good luck.

at this point I think you might be 50% crazy, but when its finished and covered I would be willing to lower than number significantly. I cant really visualize what its gonna look like done so we will have to wait and see.

Very spaceship-ish.

Definitely Crazy but crazy can be fun!

Interested to see how this turns out!

If directed towards me or if that I was grouped in with any negativity within the thread, who says that looking like a spaceship is a bad thing?

I think my comment fits perfect with what I think of the matter.
Kinda cool but of course something out of the ordinary. No hate intended.

Even so, it isn't even finished yet so who knows.

I guess I should have gone further into explaining in my first post but to sum up, it's unusual (to me of course) but in a way pretty neat.

Actually it was directed at me :icon_razz
