got the rollbar painted. Used a brush and some Chassis Coat grey - pretty mean stuff, like POR15 actually. Looks pretty good too.

cut my dash this week around the rollbars and then welded up some brakets to hold the dash in place. Since the factory gauge trim fits the dash i mounted the gauges in the proper spot w/ mounts to the knee bar.

got the dash painted. sprayed the center strip black, then used that rubber stuff in the tool box drawer to make a CF design across it w/ silver paint, then some tinted clear spray. THen i taped that up and sprayed the dash w/ bed liner spray like the floor.

Last week i welded some tube to the top of the door at the sill- in case i need to climb out w/ the doors closed- also will be used to hold windows up and for pulling the doors closed.

My HVAC is simply the factory fans w/ adapters mounted to the bottom of them for tubing. One side blows on the floor while the other travels through a 4" duct up to the top of the dash and exits out of a louvered round vent in the top of the dash.

Pulled the dash out tonite and painted all the brackets i welded to the rollbar grey to match and detailed the dash alittle. THen i velcroed my Lap timer on. Cant wait till this thing is done...Should speed up once this damn dash is done.

pulled the dash again tonite- finished cutting out all the wiring that wont be used and pulling most the fuses and relays out of the box. THen i welded the adapter to the column for the steering hub and put the seat in to test fit everything. Fits pretty good. Next to fit the nets and finish the dash fitment and on to wiring switches...
