Miami GenV LT1 Build

[Kbl7td]

This dash has been such a long saga. Original plans were to make a mold, then pull a carbon piece from that. That just wasn’t going to work based on the shape. So ended up using the mold as the final. Still requires some work with filler, paint, etc.

Originally the function buttons would be on the left side of the dash. However I’m going to reserve more spots for 4 AC vents. The control buttons will now go up top in the headliner like an airplane.

Custom headliner incoming. This should cut down on noise and heat I hope.

At least you are in the home stretch on the dash. Curious if you were going to vacuum bag the CF? Are there just too many compound curves to make it lay correctly? I know very little about the process but am surprised it can't take the contours.

[Kbl7td]

Yes lots of compound curves, etc. I think the ideal situation would have been a prepreg and vacuum bagging. But honestly I’m not worried about weight, it just would have been kinda cool looking. I may settle for the illusion of a carbon part by doing in inlay on the top. Frankly I just want to get the car driving more tho. All this custom stuff takes time.

I feel your pain on the custom stuff. It takes way more time than you think it will.
