To answer the question on why this wasn't 3D printed, I did look into it but that tech wasn't as abundant in 2008 as it is now. However I did make the first generation with plastics cast from silicone molds.

Eh, plastics don't like heat over long period of time sitting on top of the dash. So I moved to poly resins which are far more stable.

Heres a library of pics in hopes of providing some direction to OP. Scroll to the bottom for legit install pics.

SHIEEEEETTT, where have I been for the last 4 years. The Jacka died in 2015?

Update please Sunkenpods.

Yup, got shot during a video shoot in East Oakland. He'll live on through our 12" subs and comps you feel me?

Has this thread jumped a couple sharks?

I cried when I saw that Kyalami dash cut up, but very nice work.

Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say that we aren't going to be seeing anything nearly comparable to the rocknroad work in this thread.

Gosh.

F'in nailed it bro.

Wow. I'm at a loss for words. When is the leather going on?

[Sunkenpods.]

Still editing some things.

[Sunkenpods.]

Yum

[Sunkenpods.]

Going to lay some leather today and make a new pod as well

So it didn't get around to putting leather around yesterday but here is a good morning picture :-)

The gauges might be a little too "sunken" unless you plan to swap out the current placeholders for "short sweep" meter movements...

[Sunkenpods.]

Based on how the dash slopes down, I believe it will be okay. Here is another picture,

Little more tweaking and it's complete!

Lifted the visor of the hood on my negative by adding. Can you guys notice the difference? It's a very small change but I like it.

I think the middle gauge would look better if it were higher than the two on sides.

Have to imagine 3d modelling would be the move here
