bare metal with the carbon wouldn't look too good in my eyes. I feel like the carbon looks raw as is. So it needs something finished now.

I bet that singer porsche interior is itself worth many many thousands of dollars.

I agree, at least with this particular car and theme I've started.




Very correct.

Singer is absolutely an influence of mine.



Personally, I am going with black alcantara.

The transmission tunnel, kick panel area, and the inner rocker/lower door sill will all be wrapped in alcantara.

I will likely continue the alcantara into the headliner and the A pillars.


Alcantara is anywhere from $100-150 per square yard of material. So I need to plan accordingly.

But the first step is fabricating a way to mount the dash, then flock it.

Flock it real good.

Just make sure you get a tachometer that goes to 11.

looks great man

Thanks guys!

Busy busy busy at the shop.


Still managed to get some things done on the car though.




Distributor "cap" mold. It suffered some damage, but still remains usable.




Back at the clamshells.

And some dash progress. I mounted the OEM metal framework, and proceeded to see what my potential options were for mounting the dash skin.



Seems to be aligned properly. And it does appear to fit. Whoa. Cool.




Once again, fender welting to the rescue. This will transition the flocking material to the defroster cover beautifully, if you ask me.

Apologies for the terrible shots, hopefully you get the idea.

After I made note of where the dash locates on the frame, it allowed me to plan out the first few tabbing locations.

After the dash is attached to the frame, then, I can really make some headway.

Lots to do before that happens though. It needs to lose some weight first.


I'm fairly confident I will be able to retrofit the guts of the heater controls to the dash. That'll be cool.






It should probably happen sooner than later, as it will become more difficult as things get mounted to the dash.

Also infused another console today, in order to start building inventory. I'm excited to see how it turns out. The layup went well.







Happy New Year all!
