Whats up everyone, im new to this site, and i love it, i can spend hours on it!. I do tons and tons of custom fiberglass enclosures for people. No1 really knows how to do it around here. Im getting pretty good, and getting known all around for it.

I have a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier show car, I have 19"s, shaved doors (yes i shaved the doors), custom riberglassed the hole interior, s2000 tails, ect.....

I love everything about my interior but my dash, it looks to factory, so today i ripped it all out, gutted the whole dash, and want to do something really crazy and have it flow into my center council, and glass the center council.

I want the interior to be top notch, does anybody have any design ideas, i really do not have much money at all, i just bought a house and got married ha ha. So i want to do something crazy but not much products if any!. Im capable of doing about anything! THANKS!

i started to make a dash a few weeks ago, very very hard project, im an expeirenced fiberglasser, but this has taken it to a different level for me! ha ha.

I have a amp wrack that curves down from the backseat to the center council so i wanted it to flow into the dash. I relocated the factory gauges into the center of the dash and put the radio lower at the bottom. I still have to make the peice thats to the left of the dash to match the right side of the dash.

My question is--- what products should i put in and where, tvs, speakers, ect. Its to plain and empty right now i need to add some stuff any ideas? thanks....

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

hey man i did the interior in about 2 months, it could have been a lot better, like the edges on everything, i was in a rush to get the car done for a show, and i regret it so bad, thats why im starting over! and taking my time!

2 months is really good. I spent 3 months on a single fiberglass enclosure, door panels, back panels, and a small mdf bracket for the hu. But that was my first time doing it. I know it can be done faster if I didn't have to make gazillion of mistakes ;)
