yeah we need some updates here for sure . . . Al should remind me once in a while . . . :hitfan:lol . . . ohhh she's coming along :D Winters not even here yet but its coming to :cool: . . . . some updates for the snowy days on the way

All those pieces a few pages back are all glassed in and final faired. The dash is pretty cool and with the center mounted helm reminds me a lot of the Starship Enterprise . . . lots of room for LOTS of gauges https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...f98664c3da.jpg

Also did a mock up for a windshield riser that i had in mind to get rid of the old flat one to also allow the seats/helm to be moved inboard. Along with the riser we decided to open up the vents and do away with the louvers, https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...2b4b56a46b.jpg

made a mold off the mock up to allow me to make a large fairing section, I feel its better in the long run doing it like this because it provides a better final part even though its a one time use mold. I call the process "quick an dirty" molding, its a bit more up front effort but the final part is cleaner and easier to adapt then any free lofted part. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...446d293627.jpg

some initial fitting of the finished part, Fits good and has a good arc side to side. This part was made about six inches taller the the final shape/heighth will be. This is done so the bottom edge where the windscreen is going to sit is a prefect fit also provides a nice lip for it all to attach to. . . . When the windscreen is on it will kinda flow with/around that pod in the center of the dash top. . . . https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...04f7f7c033.jpg
