Nice man, always wanted to do something like that. I'd be curious who has the best prices on the Autometer's as well. Same kind even. Curious where you got your steering wheel? Looking for one in just that style.

fastbaggedgalant

01-05-2006, 07:47 AM

I will put on together when it is all done but i want to make sure it comes out good first. I dont want to give bad info if it is shitty , ya know. So for now i will just post pics as it comes along, plus i still dont know all the steps yet , this is my first time ever with F/G

when it is all done and looks good thats when we can look to see a tutorial

fastbaggedgalant

01-15-2006, 06:08 PM

Well yesterday and today ( all day both days ) i have been working on my dash..... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior016.jpg
as you will see i am almost done. We have been sanding, http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior017.jpg
put another coat of fiber glass and http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior007.jpg
sanding put another coat of fiber glass and sanding ( total of 3 coats of fiber glass resen)
now that it is all smooth we used a wet sandable primer http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior015.jpg

on it and then wet sanded it to check for any dimples and imperfections. we found quite a bit so we filled the imperfections with a bondo filler putty, http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior013.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior012.jpg
and wet sanded it again so that it is all absloutly smooth.http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior014.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior010.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior008.jpg

now all the parts are preped for automotive primer & paint ( it will match the new paint job of the car !! ) I will take all of this an put a tutorial together once it is ALL DONE https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif :shock: :shock: https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif should be all done in about a week or so ...

Some people have asked me to do this for them .... as of right now i am not taking any orders just cuz i want to make sure it all comes out right and to see if i really want to do all this all over again, so far it looks like i will but no promises , this is alot of work and time but we'll see https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

what kind of matte or cloth did you use, all i see is resin?....looks cool

LOL very tight man...

fastbaggedgalant

01-17-2006, 08:07 PM

no matte no cloth.... it is all resen... on parts like this you dont want to make them thicker or heavier.. so i just have sanded and resened my ass off... i know i could have just saneded the plastic , but that just doesnt have the F/G look... i dont care what anyone says thats the truth... it may be close but just not the same... ya know... like Coke & RC ... there both colas but just not the same :wink: https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

why not just 2 k prime with some good Dupont Primer? Two good coats and your set...

soltero112

01-18-2006, 04:43 AM

very true i paint for you, but i do kinda see where your coming from.......but resin distorts and warps easy if you have nothing to reinforce it, just a heads up....keep up the good work

the 2kprimer is the next step , probaly this weekend... ill post pics...

fastbaggedgalant

01-21-2006, 10:11 PM

ok so today we didnt get as much done as i hoped but we started out by cutting 3 pillar pods off of a pillar and tapeing them together to set a base desigh and get an idea where we wanted to put the gauges...
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2002.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2003.jpg
then we took a dremil and wut out the area on the dash where the air lines and power lines will need to go
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2004.jpg
now the fun part.. yeah right .. lol we layed out some F/G matte over the pods to start basing out the new pods
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2008.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2009.jpg
we then let it all dry and harden up took about 45 min to an hour i think
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2010.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2011.jpg
once it was ready to be sanded the sun was down and we had to put it up for the night but got a lil bit of the sanding done not much tho , before we packed it up for the night we wanted to test fit all three gauges to make sure it was all correct so tomorrow we can really get to work on it
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2014.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2012.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior2013.jpg

as you can see all gauges fit and tomorrow we will have to fit the PS2 where the air bag was and start to mold that section. once that is done we can get this top part of the dash done and ready for paint. We are shooting for paint next sunday !! i will have more pics and updates , i cant wait till it is done!!

BIGMONEYDAY

01-22-2006, 10:12 AM

Looking good man!! Definately keep us posted on this project. I've been wanting to put some gauges in that area since I saw how that sat there in the new 350 Z's. But there's nothing like buying spare parts, just incase you F something up. Just as the ATL members, they know I got enough spare parts to build another "G".. :wink: By the way, did you remove the vinyl on the dash before starting this project? Or did you lay matte and resin over it?

fastbaggedgalant

01-22-2006, 06:57 PM

hey BIGMONEYDAY... if i need parts ill hit u up first.. as for the vinyl on the front part of the dash... yea i had to remove all that crap that was a pain but it was all removed and sanded down.... yester day was the first day of real work on the top part of the dash besides removing the vinyl and preping it .... so here is todays progress...

first we started by taking a piece of plexi glass and sanding it all down to give it a rough surface to lay the fiberglass bondo on... then took the new PS2 and mapped out where it was going to sit .... cut out the area in the plexi and super glued it into postion so it didnt move.... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior3009.jpg
then we layed out some fiberglass bondo http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/bondoglass.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior3011.jpg
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior3015.jpg
we also filled in the seam on the dashboard ...
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/Lili142/FGinterior3018.jpg
then it was on to more sanding ... lol and thats all that we got done today... should all be done and preped by next sunday!!

01-22-2006, 07:42 PM

yea im in Fl and there is no need for that here ever.. i have had the car now for 2 years and never used it once ... ill probaly regret it once it is done cuz there will be that one time i will need it but oh well i dont care ... lol

yes I like But. I would have taken this thru the bottom instead of sitting it on top... The reason is you could have adjusted the front so the back wouldnt have sit up higher. but other than that I like what your doing.
I would only hope you dont crack... Glass is known to crack...

Today we have pretty much have finished all the parts .... today we bondoed in the defrost vents and arround the gauge pod and sanded it all pretty much smooth and then we laid some fiberglass resen on the dash ... got to late and cool to do any more sanding but it should all be done and painted and back in the car this weekend.... once it is done ill post up the pics.....

I dont mean to be rude but..... why?????? you did another coat of resen
Thats just as you starting over after the add ons of PS2 and gauges...
Your doing a hella job but i hope that resencomes out smooth... Are at any point gonna 2k primer this? Or Epoxy seal? I do alot of parts and never have to go to that xtreme. Just take off 3 coats of good 2 k primer and one epoxy sealer and Im set.

Cant wait to see it done....

Wow another coat of resin, hope you like sanding.

When I fiberglass, I just do one layer with matte, and then sand the piss outta it, fill in the little holes and sand again, primer, paint, paint, clear coat.
