WOAH! I didn't realize you were gonna permanently attach the plates??? Cool idea! Its gonna look really sleek! I feel so bad, you get so much done every day, and I, a 16 year old with no set job schedule, can hardly do anything in a whole week! How do you find so much time?!?!

EDIT: I own the 15th page!!!!

Thanks G! I was hoping to be much farther along that I am right now, but I should be able to play catch up this weekend and have something close to a finished product - it's always the details that get you bogged down.

LOL... when you're single and have no life... you kinda have too much time to play around. I have no real responsibilities other than my dogs and keeping the house paid for... So... I have time. Too much time... How sad is my life? LOL

That sounds like me, except I don`t even have a dog.
But, it seems by the time I get off work, get home and get to working on my project, it`s already getting into the evening.
I hope to get further along on my project this weekend, even though I have to work Saturday.

LOL I'm sure there's a support group for us. I think it's called the "bar"?

Very Minor Updates:

I continued to prep the radio cover and I added filler to the back side along the bottom to help secure the trim plate. I also created a few fiberglass pieces for the A/C vent lip and upper gauge lip - I'm still not sure whether to add these but I'll least get them fabricated and then see how they look. I used the method of cutting the fiberglass while it cured making the cutting process much easier - this saves so much time!

Radio cover primed awaiting more sanding


Prepping fiberglass


All the images cut to shape and ready for assembly - I'll connect the pieces using hot glue on the outside and then resin and glass on the inside


Like I said, very minor updates. I still didn't get around to cutting the hole in the radio cover for the upper gauges. Hopefully this weekend.

Once again I created a graphic of what the radio cover would look like with lips over both the A/C vents and the upper gauges. I don't think it works. It's too bulky and heavy looking. I like the single lip over the vents that I created earlier but not both. What do you think?

Larger lip over the gauges


Larger lip over the vents


That's it for now. I have a lot planned for this weekend! It's supposed to be nice so I should be able to get a lot done

I don't understand the lips. It looks very sleek without them, and this seems to take away from all that meticulous sanding/filing/repeating/repeating/repeating/repeating/repeating/repeating/repeating/repeating process you did so well. Just my .02

The lip over the A/C vent is supposed to resemble the lip over the 89 Prototype console. I really like the way that interior was designed so I thought to incorporate that one design element.

I'm hoping to get lots done today

What if you blended the two lips together? Like fill the gap between the top of the A/C vent lip and the bottom of the gauges lip.

That might work? I'll have to create a quick image to see what it looks like. Thanks!
