    got the gauges all finished up and installed. Here's a pic of the custom dash gauge pod.

    Turn signals and High beams are LED's, used the original Charge and Seat belt lenses glued to the back then used a couple 1:24th model car beauty rings to clean up the 5/8" hole.

    Gonna do something similar, though I'm all about ripping out the old dash and boxing in with aluminum and carbon fiber right now.

    Looks great!

    Carbon is bucks. You can fake it bu making it out of aluminum or fiberglass and just putting 1 coat of carbon over it. I'm getting things ready for some carbon parts. I'll let you know how much it costs when it's done.

    Have used CF for computer case mods, I understand the cost, I promise. LOL

    Will likely use the carbon/kevlar blends. Look better.

    Never liked the look of CF myself, it looks like unfinished fiberglass that someones put a spray tint on then cleared.

    OK I got you a door. It was $76.00 USD. It's complete with glass and everything. The only thing is you will need to move the mirror holes. It's a low mount you have the high mount. It's not that big of a deal. It has no rust that I can see. Now we just need to get the shipping together. I'll get you a full weight of the door.

    Very nice build. Looks like you're about a year ahead of me, as I'm just getting all the mechanicals in mine worked out and then road tested for a few months. Then I'm going to blow it apart for a complete frame off rebuild. Nice work.
    What is the ultimate destination for your exhaust?
    I see you've done exactly what I'm planning in order to run the pipes through the cross memebers, and I'm building a fuel cell that'll sit at the back of the chassis where the spare was so I have room to tuck the mufflers in tight, and run a full exhaust system all the way back. I'm also mounting my battery in the back under the bed.
    Carbon Fiber isn't that expensive. You can get all kinds of good carbon, and the hybrids mentioned here, in small quantities from Advanced Vehicle Technologies in Indy. Joel Walsworth will fix you up! Much cheaper than places like Fiberglast...
    As far as how it looks, well, that's up to the guy who lays it up. You can see some of my work in the "other vehicles" thread. There are a few guys out there who know what they're doing, still not many, and still yet many more crooks and charlitans selling one ply of carbon on a crap fiberglass laminate as "high tech". Buyer beware...

    The exhaust will be run through the side of the bed with 3" SS tips cut at a 45 degree angle in front of the tires. I'm frenching in a 4.5" opening about 5-6" deep that the tips will run through. I relocated a new stock tank to where the spare was then ran a Holley Blue 110ghp pump.With the Air system, Shocks,4 link,Gas tank, Air tank and wiring I had 2 options, either run the exhaust under the frame in front of the 4 link mount or over the frame and out the side of the box. I think it's going to look better running out the side of the box and another plus is it won't get crushed if I bottom out on a speed bump or something.

    I know the mirror mounting is different from your door. There is a High mount and a low mount for 1 gens. High is up next to the window. That one was a low mount. It came from a late model 1 gen.

    Doesn't matter where the mirrors were located I have custom mounted RX7 power mirrors that fit upper body line.So either style mount has to be filled.

    On first gen the low mount mirrors bolt on top to the same holes as the sport mirrors - the bottom holes are added. My 1980 has old skool Vitaloni mirrors from the 80's painted to match mounted in the stock location.
