My name is Anthonie,

I brought my 86GT 4 years ago. I have done some mods to it but due to money and the military I was unable to really finish anything. Finally I have the time and funds to complete (hopefully) my first build. I have been doing research and designs and I am ready to tackle my first build. Here is the car, I bought it off of Ebay 4 years ago for 1500 dollars. I have messed around with the interior learning new tricks and messing with new materials.

The paint coming off the front clip was done from me driving in the snow 3 years ago, which cause the accident that put the car in the garage ever since. Here is some pictures of my interior when I first started this project, notice how everytime I change the interior it gets more and more advance.

This is my first attempt, using plexiglass. I put in a digital fuel gauge and I used my GPS as a speedo. thought it was kinda trick at the time.
.

Here is what I did about a two years later. I have more pictures I was going to do a write up but its this is not the focal point of the story. The gauge housing was from a 94 Ford Probe that I had 11 years ago... but I still had the dash (my first first first build that went SOOOO wrong)


The speedo was going to be a aftermarket heads up display that I had aquired. I turned out pretty cool except one thing. The gauges that I bought off of Ebay which was pretty cheap did nothing but look cool since it did not have anything to hook up sensors too. MISTAKE #2!

I started on the gauge cluster. I cut the holes out and marked where the camera monitor is going. I also worked on the glove box.

that paint job reminds me of a van I knew when I was younger.

I thought the gauges looked nice, then the red backlight made me think they were awesome. I like the design!
looking forward to seeing your progress, keep it up!

I started making what I will call my information tunnel which will house my back-up camera monitor and HUD unit. I am making it out of plexiglass since every system will be design as a single individual unit, so if I have to upgrade, or replace I dont have to reinvent the wheel. I can just remove and replace.

I finished my HUD unit, but came up with a design change so back to the drawing board.... But this unit will be made from fiberglass and will include the idiot lights!.. Stand by for pictures later today.

How did that car get down there. It was owned by a tattoo artist in Pa.

I bought it from a car dealer on eBay 4 or 5 years ago... I love the paint job but the years are starting to show though

I've the car twice before once in Pa. for sale and the other time in Nj. Funny thing I just bought a formula that was bought in nc off ebay 4 0r 5 years ago. Good luck I love the paint job.

Sorry for the late progress. Here is the latest and greatest.

I had a design change and rebuilt the the HUD unit


I rebuilt it using fiberglass so that the unit would be more durable


I reused my original design as part of the new design.

You're doing some neat stuff. Pretty cool. Thanx for posting and keep up the good work.

Thank you RCR,

here is the latest and greatest. I fixed the placement of the tablet unit in the center consule.


I will box in the top and side of this unit so that I can replace and upgrade with changing the whole consule.



I will use fiberglass mat with real carbon fiber weave over it. I will make it into sheets so it is easy to use.

Awesome start man! Looking forward to how all this turns out!

Sorry for the delay. Life likes to throw obstacules when things start to run smooth on a project.
This is somewhat of how the center consul will be back-lited using red led. The top plexi-glass will be painted black and also tinted with smoke tint in certain location to allow light and the switch labels through

Looking good! Keep up the work, I'm following this thread

I put the plexi-glass in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. You can kinda see the plastic go wavy a little. I pulled it out and placed it in the mold, let it cool and BAM!

Sorry i havent posted in a while, Life have again gotten in the way so I will not be able to finishby my dead line of july 18th. I will still continue my work and hope to have it finished soon.

Awesome work!
I understand Murphy and projects, happens all the time
