DIY dashboard

Dash looks awesome - but that dash bar scares me...though maybe its just the angle of the pic. It looks like you could have some pretty nasty things happen if there was a direct hit on the front corner of the cage and the dash bar deformed in a downwards manner. IIRC, there was a car built here in denver about 10 years ago with a bar in maybe a slightly lower area that was told to cut and move above the steering column (amongst other issues - wavy A-pillar bars being the worst offender).

Your a pussay, snivelling about smashing all for knees. You know they have these nice all metal ones now. I got one and you don't see me whining about the knees..
Well just a little about the (very possibly) broken leg I've been hobbling on since the first like a dumb fuck...(that's what they said yesterday)

Man up Dave, you smash your knees just walk it off...[/harump mode off]

Low dash bars aren't permitted in new construction btw...must be above the steering wheel.

Who's got that green honda thing (not Cody... I dont think..) with the fabric dash?

Except Eric B's Mazdaspeed 3, I have never seen one that wasn't stock that didn't look like shit.

John Reeds looks pretty good, maybe you haven't seen it:

This is what I'm picturing in my head, minus the fancy electronic dash. Will be a bunch simpler though. I

Be very careful about reflections upwards, very annoying the one time that I was foolish and did a home made dash...very annoying indeed.

If I ever find the plate GHETTO I'll try and get it for you...

A.J., what is this self-inflicted need? What are you trying to accomplish? Is your old dash toast, or are you doing this just because you have extra time?

One can go plenty fast with a stock dash.

Maybe WHT TRSH would be good too.

But with my budget of $0 I made due with what I had. I still have this old keg sitting around I want to do something with. Think that would be a legal fuel cell?

I mean at least I have the RLY CAR plate front and center.

Cut the stock dash too much to fit in the car without welding in mounts. I'm not using the stock gauges at this point because I don't have a working set. I can pull another dash and fit it but that is at least the same amount of time as just slapping in a couple plastic sheets plus I need to buy some plastic for the rear door cards.
