How did you all finish your dash ? Paint / Material ? Pic please
I used a mix of 3M stick on fake carbon fibre and black plastic (leather look) similar to the stuff that comes with the roadster kits. I attached the dash with 10-32 SS socket head screws

I'm using a combination of regular vinyl and carbon fiber looking vinyl (both matched from my Corbeau seats) and red stitching. Similar for the door cars. All fasteners hidden and not using the brow piece. Just picked up everything from the auto upholstery shop today. Should be posting pics in my build thread in the next week or two.

Hi David, looks nice man.
Where did you get that shifter? Am trying to look for options, will have a mid shifter by the way.
Anything would help, thx,
Tim
Take a look at what I did here.
post 135 shows the near final results. several posts earlier I show the process.

Not finished and still very rough fitting, but I'm going for an aircraft cockpit style finish:

Going the cheap route (which I can always upgrade later), I machined the switch bezels from plate aluminum and a handheld router in a jig, then spray painted them with BBQ grill paint. Anodizing would have been preferable, but I wanted to see how they looked before I committed. Although the grill paint with a very light sweep of a scotchbrite in one direction did a pretty good job!
Stitch work was done by the local upholstery shop for about $240.
Resettable fuses will fill the holes up top and a New Vintage switch panel will fill that hole in the bottom:

Still trying to decide how I want to finish the gauge cluster.
