Hi Rob,
HappyNewyear! Did some 355 work for a few days, now I'm back on the F40. Mocked up the gauge trio & stereo with some scrap upholstery to see how it looks. I think I'll space out the gauges another 1/8" & make the holes a little smaller. Get your new seats fitted?

Haven't fitted new seats yet. Passengers with hips (girlfriend Christina) will be a very snug fit. ????
They fit me tight and I am going to see if I can bend out sides on passenger seat a little.

I like how the gauges are slightly angled towards the driver. Think you'll have it done in time for Carlisle?

Are you going to turbo this V6 or is that guage static?

How about Alcantara/Ultrasuede/Microsuede?
Softer than the felt, looks very similiar, and looks very classy. Not to mention most modern limited edition exotics use it. Alcantara Suede is very much in style now (i.e.: Lambo Reventon, Lambo Gallardo Ultraleggera, I think the Aston Martin DBS and Ferrari FFX, too, not sure about the last two) (even the real cars use Alcantara (or various brand names of it), as real Suede wears too easy.)
Btw. Amida.. This looks absolutely awesome!!!!  
So jealous.
If I could afford it, I'd love to commission a Lambo Reventon, or Lambo Gallardo Ultraleggera, or Aston Martin DBS interior.
Those cars are just to die for.[This message has been edited by Austrian Import (edited 01-06-2008).]

That depends on when it gets done and if I get it installed in time and weather I can find a way to transport it there. ------------------

Just for show - we haven't talked about the guages I will get and their placement but I won't have a turbo.

Yes, I thought I'd try charcoal suede on the first test piece after I get the tooling made which it won't be long now. Thanks.

Alcantara/Micro-suede, or real cow hide? Can't wait to see pictures in either case.

Here are shots of the final mockup before tooling. Reduced the hole size for the gauge trio & some edges have been radiused. The height of the fuel tunnel makes it a little tight under the dash for the heater vents. The console can either be cut shorter/ angled down at a steeper angle, or the vents can be tucked under the dash slightly.
