Just thought I'd post some pictures up. I wanted a completely useless mod to do since I have been bored in the down time here. I decided to fab up a swtich panel, just so I can flip the IGN and START switch like I see them do in Nascar every weekend. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Made with all low quality parts from Radio Shack, and some neato .125" 5052 aluminum sheet metal from www.onlinemetals.com. So far I have the start, ignition, master power working. Still haven't gotten the fuel pump and fans hooked up yet. It will be useful to be able to flip the fans on high and low whenever I want though. I also left two extra for the gauges and gauge lights whenever I get them put in. Also ripped out the interior. Bare metal is so much nicer. Also, if you haven't seen the marble like roof without the headliner in a hard top car, it's quite interesting. No more door panels, no more center console getting in the way when shifting. I like the whole racecar feel, even though it's still slow. However, since I do drive it places, I'm sure most people think it looks like a theft recovery vehicle... Lastly, for those who say "I can't live without the radio," without the center console being there, I zip-tie the headunit under the A/C controls whenever I need music.

QUOTE (NataSS Inc @ Feb 23 2004, 10:59 AM) I would love to have that same set up except with the aircraft covers. I just cant bring myself to loose the stereo. My car is also stripped. Nothing like the look and feel of bare metal. Right now I don't have any door panels and the window controls just dangle there until I get thesheet metal door panels from Wolfe. BTW.....what would it cost to have you build a duplicate with the red covers? Please let me know. Since the DIN aftermarket stereos are just over half the height of the stock GM systems, I bet you could rig a custom plate that would have the stereo at the top or bottom of the cutout with enough space for a row of switches.. |
