Almost finished with my aluminum dash....

I just need to do the last fitment and then have it painted. Goes in my 95 Civic Hatch D-mod race car. (B18C, 12:1, Toda B's, etc.....) The car should weigh in at 1500lbs or less. More pics once I get a little further.

Daily?

Nah... it doesn't have lights anymore. Well only rear brake lights for da' track. I also put lexan windows in it and had the doors and hatch gutted completely. I also spent about 40 hours gutting the wire harness. I am only running 3 fuses

I might take it to the drag strip for kicks

Watch out for the reflection you get of the dash onto the windshield. Paint it flat black or something, wouldn't want that reflection to be the cause of a crash.

Very nice. I have the same idea, but different. Do you do your own welding?

Re: Almsot finished with my aluminum dash.... (E-H-2)

The dash will be painted black.

One of the mechanics from Realtime Racing did most of the fab work (I don't have a break or a welder). I did all of the gauge installing - ie drilling with a hole saw and filing. I also did the wiring. It turned out very well. Car will be finished by May.

Thanks for the props.
