Waiting on lowers to come back from shop with #6 prop shafts. Ordering props from Hering. We decided on 17 X 35 X 18 degree rake. Got bored and started to tear dash apart. Sending off some templates to Steve at Innotech to do in carbon fiber. Will post pictures of completion of dash.

Were you expecting more ? I think thats pretty good for that big and heavy of a rig .
