I bought a original Shelby dash pod for the
car off of ebay to put a boost gauge and a tach in. First I took it to a upholstery buddy of mine to try to rap it in black leather. Well it did not work out, so I just painted it.

Bought guages from Summit Racing.

Then I installed them in the dash pod.

Next I tried to find someone with a A/C console to trade so I would not have to cut the full console that the car originaly had.

But as you can now see I did not find one.

It is a little dirty,

So I gave it a bath.

Then I gave it a new coat of that new Krylon
Fusion paint for plastics.

I cleaned the original wood grain stickers off of the chrome because they where in bad shape.

Now I need to cut the console chrome down to fit and then ad the new pony interior wood grain stickers to the chrome, but that will be later. Hopefuly the Fast Fuel Injection System will be all wired up soon so I can bring the car home and install the dash pod, A/C unit, console, and the most important thing, "the front end sheet metal" and it will be DONE!!!!! I hope?
There is all the pictures of the build so far.
