Builds Project ... "killer Piggy" (1 Viewer)

[Sheck44]

So an entirely new dash from top to bottom will be fabricated? That will be something to see!!

Morning all ... and Marry Christmas !!
Rush, you are correct, and I will detail the entire fab process. We were just going to remove some of the face of the OE dash, but this causes too many difficulties and takes up too much real-estate behind the dash. This will free up all the space we need and clean everything up.
Cheers
Steve

Update gents ... did a little 3D printing for the mock up and I am absolutely astounded at what can be done these days with technology.
Extremely happy with the way this is coming along

Hold on to that piece of sheetmetal

 

[bobm]

sunroof

 

[JLawson]

I believe that is the universal sign for "moon roof"?!

 

[Sheck44]

Hold on to that piece of sheetmetal

RUSH ... the roof was completely beat up, the main reason for doing the sunroof was because when we started on the body we realized very quickly there was like 2+" of filler on the roof. We are pretty certain kids were jumping on the roof and caved it in ....

They are building a custom surround around the actual pano roof, that will be welded into the opening above

Now I believe that this pano roof has the electric retracting sunshade built in ... let you know !

 

[greenbeast]

Have to say that’s pretty cool. I’d ask where interior light is going but if your doing things to this level I know you have a work around.

Keep sharing the progress!

Wow! What glass insert are you going with?

I could see going w/ an LED surround that goes around the moonroof opening.
Or a few different zones of LEDs.

This is exactly what I could see. LED strips!
