Default Help on dash and door cut outs;

Bob: I think you are right, and so far I am totally happy with the color, We are having discussions now on the color of the roll bar. I want silver to match the side pipes. Craig thinks roll bar might look good the stripe color.

Anybody wanna chime in on your thoughts on color of roll bar.

Now I need some help. does anyone have a good picture of a CR with a cutom dash. I need to see how it is finished off at the very ends. I am not too sure how much to take off from the body where it meets the dash.

I am wanting to cover my dash in vinyl so i would need to finish it off around these ends. I guess I could sew up a black windlace and have it run from top to bottom and let it end under the carpet. then the dash would fit next up to the windlace. The other option is to fiberglass it all together, but I am thinking that some day the dash may need to come out so fiberglassing in is not a good option.

I also am not sure how much of the body to take off around the rest of the door openings. I am thinking of taking it off until it meets the inner body piece and then fill with fiberglass and smoothing it out. This way it looks like one complete smooth piece. I would also think the carpet might come high enough to roll onto the sill plate and get glued down reall good there. A picture of the body door sill plate area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for assistance.
