Thanks, Tim/Glen/Hyde/Chas...it's fun to hear your feedback and constructive suggestions along the way...
...so yeah, on my list of annoyances with the car...there would be changing the Triumph steering column over to the ERA column, perhaps adding an
oil cooler for nothing more than aesthetics, and making the dash more accurate. It's that curse of a "trained eye" that Hyde speaks about..I've teetered back and forth regarding FIA vs drop-center'd dash, but haven't made a decision. I really like the gauge lay-out and aircraft switches on the FIA-style dash, but the drop-center dash can be made all racer-like, too. Just some things to think about for further down the road...
I'm pressed for time at the moment, but will follow up with some cars that I've seen that have provided me with some inspiration on the subject of color change...
