this is being made for josh and i hope it works for his applications. he wanted a headunit face but wanted the stereo buttoms to be removed so he could remove the stereo for weight savings. he only wanted to keep the knobs and the defrost button. so here is what i have come up with so far. a couple shots of the unit after fiberglassing and some sanding, followed by first coat of primer. more sanding and bondo will be used to give it smooth as silk without the rough spots. Finish will probably be this weekend sometime.

looks alright, maybe needs to be smoothed more right? i'll have to find stickers for the temp controls, looks like it will do the job though.
arden
yeah it will be very smooth, i have finally gotten good at making crap w/ fiber glass. my first two guage pods are trash, they will never turn out right, but my other two projects are 95% done and yours is coming along very quickly

bryan, i think i'm going to need some help with a push button ignition for the car, that and a couple other things will put there for later use like a fuel pump switch and so on. there are two small wires and six big wires coming off the ignition and i have no idea how the interact with each other.

how's this thing coming along?
arden
its going good. did lots of bondo and sanding this weekend, pics will be posted when i find my camera confused.gif

if your done i need to get this from you and get that center console piece to.
arden
i know ive been sayin it over and over again but its coming along. i really dont have the time i want right now. i have one more day of school tomorrow and 2 days next week, wednesday and thursday for finals and im done for this semester and have the whole summer off besides work. I am almost positive i will have it done by tuesday. i will have ALL day monday with nothing else to do but work on my custom stuff. i think i need about 2-3 hrs more work before it will be done.
jdrzx2
take your time, i'm in no hurry. any new pics of it yet?
arden
yes and no. i can take new ones but its almost 2 am right now and im sleepy. it looks the same as the above pics, the black ones, except parts are a lil bit smoother and its got brown bondo clay smeared all over it from where im filling the small dimples and imperfections that fiber glass leaves behind

i just hope you find a way to use your defrost button, but i doubt it will be that hard to wire up something
