Its not that hard to do....once you have an idea of what you want it to look like. I've never used fiberglass in my life. But after purchasing a very ill fitting 911 shroud I ended up learning as I've gone. And while I've had a few setbacks here and there.....its been a fun experience. Anyways, here is a pic of the dash as it was 2 weeks ago (I'm working on the cover panel that will fit below the steering column).

Once the general shape is complete I'll go back over it and make some adjustments here and there before I create a mold of it. Once I've made the mold I'll make 3 of them. The 1st one will be used to figure out reinforcement points as well as the glove box. The second one will be a finished unit with CF accents at certain points and what isn't CF will be painted to match the body. The final one will be completely CF. I might be making a 1303 version since a friend of mine was asking if I could use his dash as the pattern and then modify it to house the 911's cluster. So, that might be another form that I have laying around till I get my own 1303.

Well I was just about done. I have made a revision to the dash since I was mocking up the gauges and realized that I would have to cut a section of the dash to fit the tach and speedo. So (thanks to a mold that I took of the gauge cluster section) I have raised and pulled out the area that the gauges would fit to avoid cutting the dash and will lower the steering column a 1/2" to make everything fit. So, I'm redo'ing a few parts because of the change. Will have a few pics up....so if you have any ideas or suggestions please feel free to let me know.
