Well I am to the point of cockpit design. Anyone have any ideas?

I am trying to stay relatively simple, and cost effective, so don't go overboard on me, but please send pics and ideas to me so I have something to go by.

thanks

That was a great pic, but I am not using my origional dash. I plan on building one out of sheet metal. My plan is to temporarly use my gauge cluster and start making switches on a seperate panel, adn then movce to a HUGE tach etc. I would liek to end up with a DP style dash or GT 1 style.

I am building the car for the local track and ITE, but i guess eventually it will end up as a AS car. I am hoping though that the speed of this 500hspw thing will make me jump to a GT 1 car in a couple of years.

Thanks again.

...well...we have built a few GT1 cars over the years as well...I just can't afford to race one.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ...They are typically pretty simple...more simple, more better...

My stock dash is LITTERALLY a shell however....it weighs NOTHING...there is nothing under the cheap light plastic...I did it for asthetic reasons.....my fabricator was PISSED I did not go to a dash like you want...at the time I wanted the car to look more stock like for ITE rule puposes...

That is what I am doing right now to the front of my car...making it more GT1 like while not losing the stock frame and its ITE eligability....GT1 on the cheap...
