    Thanks Madhatter! The car reflects my personality - in what I'm in 150% or nothing. I **** half-ass shit.

    Thanks P78! Glad you can see the images again. Looks like Flickr is the link! And you can ALWAYS expect sweet updates. One thing i can't stand, are threads with mindless chatter. That being said, everytime you see my name attached to an update, rest assured, I'm not chiming in to talk about the weather or what chick I saw the other day. I'm out to do damage!!

    I would personally paint over the auto meter lables though
    Yeah, it just worked out that way. Sometimes drafts are just a direction. Not always a solid path.

    Thanks nellydragracer! To me, detail work is something that would annoy me if I didn't do it, therefore I must!!

    Spider Update.

    I spent the limited time I had fabricating the belly pan dive plates for both medial and lateral edges. These plates serve a dual function - keep the under body air from being disturbed and carry the exterior line of the body.

    It's a crappy half-focused shot. Will get better ones tomorrow.

    CCW's fit very well but the fenders could use a touch more breathing room in the area of a 1/4 inch. Nothing major. I'm on it.

    Thanks Bro! Those are the full gauges. The faces black-out when off. Then look like this when on.

    Spider Update.

    I'm now using Flickr for uploading. So I hope this corrects the problems some members have had with no visible pics. Please let me know if anyone cannot see the new uploads from here on out.

    Ok, I've moved into the interior and have started formatting the gauges. I decided to utilize the stock pod. So I gut the internals and lined up the new formation. It was a little tricky to carve the top three ports as the pod is quite fragile and great care had to be taken when drilling.

    I used a hole saw and after a TON of measurements, I started in and drilled out the ports. There were a couple tense moments as the holes came VERY close to the speedo and tach. But with a soft and patient touch, it came out perfect.

    Here's the mock after the holes were drilled. Next up will be to take care of the remaining gaps from the stock gauges.

    But before that, I used some flat black vinyl and wrapped the smaller gauges exterior to blend it into the pod.

    024 (1024x768)

    Here's a top view showing the vinyl wrap.

    Next up was fabricating an aluminum surround to flush the gauges.

    033 (1024x768)

    Then I applied some more vinyl to the new surround that blocks all the previous gaps.

    In car spec check.

    Top view showing the levels. I love the fact that it's not just a simple flat panel. It's all black . But with the brushed bezels and upper step, it pops very nicely.

    From passenger side. The holes between the speedo and tack will host one of a few concepts I have on deck. More on that section soon.
