Hoping to finally finish it this winter.

Here is a pic not to long after I bought it.

I dig the look of that interior, the fasteners showing only add IMO.
 
How did you form the roll on the edge of the dash "pad" ?

I have done similar bends making dragster bodies. Made a roller out of 2 -1" dia leveller rolls. clamped the metal to the table of the roller, then roll the metal around the lower roll using the upper roll mounted to a set of parallel arms.

At times I wish i still had access to the surplus parts tossed out at the rolling mill :(

When I get to building my C3 widebody Sebring 75 street replica I plan on a similiar dash setup.. Your use of panels + striping will strongly infulence my finished product!
I think the use of a center pod and using your design on the rest of the dash should kick ass.

Sebring 75 dash:
 
Had to use a friends metal brake, he has modified it to take off the sharp edge and put round stock in it.
 
all the other ones can be done with the round stock I have mounted to my brake, but the one on the dash was a bit tighter.
 
Possibly a lot like driving on ice. lol

We will see when I can drive it around a little more.

Should be about finished next week, other than the buffing and installing seats. I am determned to let it sit a week before sanding and then another week before buffing.
