I removed the dash and I am in the middle of installing water temp, voltage, oil psi, and IAT gauges into the middle AC vent opening. Here are some pics

 

That'll look nice. I'd miss those vents, but if you don't use em'...freakin' do it man. It will definitely look great!!!

Why water and IAT, though?

 

so stupid question but can you still use your ac from those vents lol

 

make sure to show the finished project later.

 

good idea not the most "comfortable" spot IMO i would have left the vent and gone above it but i guess it depends what ur using the car for

 

I think this will look pretty cool. Kind of like a Z, but cool non the less.

 

looks like the angle is pretty high.....good idea post up pics when finished.

 

Doesn't look too bad. If you look over to the shroud around the gauge cluster, they're stilling at the low end of those gauges, so they may need to face up a bit more. Also, what if this dude is 7' tall???

 

In for pics.

 

PIC update still sanding, filling, sanding, filling etc. almost there.

 

hey do you not use ur a/c? and you could of mount it in ur radio and move the radio somewhere else. they do that in evos alot

 

A/C still works, just not out of the middle of the dash. Still have all the other vents.
This is not my everyday car i only rack up about 4000 miles a year. The car competes in Time trial events and Track days.

 

who did your cage it looks pretty nifty

 

can you post the finish product pics in the gallery so i can see them from my work comp :P damn millitary blocks n such

 

all i can say is you got a lot of work ahead of you lol...u def have *****. have fun with mr. sandpaper and filler.

good luck with the finish

 

your garage sale link doesn't work...

"Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

 

yeah i gotta delete that. all the rest of my stuff for sale is individual threads

 

I actually like this.

 

looks very nice. cant wait to see it finished.

 

Nice project. I would think that a PLX in the A-pillar wouldve been easier, LOL.

 

looks sick cant wait to see the finished dash

 

That would be the easy way out

 

looks nice,
mind if i ask what you plan on doing with the car, normally you woudnt think to get a racing seat+rollcage+eliminate a/c vents unless you were doing a pretty kickass build

 

The car dosent have any huge power upgrades Shorty headers with no CAT DP 2.5 exhuast, GM stage 2, bigger sway bar, Koni adjustable shocks, Ingalls TD. I have run 13.8 @ 106mph in the 1/4
The car mostly runs Time Trials with NASA and the SCCA. I have also run with the ECTA they do land speed racing in Maxton, NC.

 

second on the roll cage. where did it come from?
