Nice work gregzz4. I see you are in Burnaby, another Lower Mainlander. How do you like the ZZ4 motor? Ever come out to Mission for the Friday Street Legals?

I've got a picture in my head of doing my dash in gloss black plexi, bent to fit the dash. Just one more thing on the loooooooong list of to-dos!

Thanks, but it looks pretty basic to me. Looks 'good from far' and all that. Guess I see it too much.
A work neighbour, who sold his plexi shop, traded me some work for the ABS and the bending. I did all the rest. I would really recommend against Plexi as it will scratch very easily. If you look close at my ABS you'll see it looks kinda like the stock texture and is very forgiving where scratches are concerned. Plus it's not as brittle and is more friendly to work with.

I love my Crate. Surprises a lot of cars  ;D
When I first installed it you could still go to Mission on the Weekend but I never made it. I haven't been inclined enough yet to make it all the way there from Work on a Friday, but I'd like to see how it runs now with the rest of the Drivetrain finished
Ya know, maybe one day  ::)

Here is a dash from an 87 corvette.  Makes people look twice.
