Yes they really are a PITA.
I started making a custom one for mine as a plug for a fibreglass mould but there is just so much work in shaping it and getting it to look good as well as be functionals. Can't wait to see what yours turns out like.

My attempt at building GL beetle
A few more pics of how my dash has evolved.[IMG]
 ~original[/IMG]The steel top section had a few mods including moving the speedo area slightly and reducing the overall width of the dash by slicing a section out next to the air vents and moving them towards the centre. The dash now sits between the roll cage and does not run the full width of the car to the door pillars like the stock one.I then filled and shaped it to line up with the bottom section.[IMG]  ~original[/IMG][IMG]  ~original[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1185.photobucket.com/user/rsg2/media/DSC01128_zpsc1fc8a8e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z351/rsg2/DSC01128_zpsc1fc8a8e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC01128_zpsc1fc8a8e.jpg"/></a>~original[/IMG] not sure if anyones really interested in this but I thought I would post some pics anyway.[IMG]  ~original[/IMG][IMG] ~original[/IMG]

My attempt at building GL beetle
[IMG]
 ~original[/IMG]Ok its been ages since Iposted any pics life's been HECTIC to say the least.Some pics are old but this is how the build has roughly progressed. [IMG]  ~original[/IMG]After this pic was taken the car went off to have the subaru engine conversion bodged up and thrown in by the UK's so called Subaru Engine Conversion Specialists  .Fast forward and after the interior was fitted and the car was road tested the gremiln's started to raise their ugly heads.And trust me there where tons of them........Fast forward again and after some successful legal action and money back my way the engine has been pulled.And all the other crap they fitted has been removed from the car.

looks impressive so far. you have done a ton of work. some of the build pics remind me of my build. you will definitely keep us up to date on the scooby conversion. i have a personal interest in that as i am currently considering either that or a 2056 type 4 for my daughters 62 Germanlook
