I would have to see quite a bit of interest. I currently do not have a RHD panel and I have to have an original to make the new one. I'll keep it in mind.

Damn dave, nice work. I'd like one with the PFC integrated into it and some gauge panels. It'll be nice when everything is finished.

Actually I was planning on offering carbon kevlar or carbon fiber yes. The price will be higher on those.

If/When you make the shifter panels with the AC control units, please PM me? I have subscribed to this thread, but wouldnt mind a tap on the shoulder if its ready (a lot of projects fall thru on this board, at least the ones im interested in )

Highly interested in the shifter console with ac relocations! Just name yer price man!

I'm interested in both Panels . . . how much should it be? $150? If so, you have a definate buyer.

EDIT: I have a Auto, there should be no issues with it fitting? Why would there be?

I am not offering a price on the second panel. I am not even sure I can make it from scratch yet. Let me get the ac panel done first then I will look into the center panel.

Dave, i know you wouldn't do any work that wasn't up to par, but what is the thickness/strength of these panels compared to the stock plastic? also, would they have difficulty adhereing to paint if we decided to put a finish on them?

Yea Charlie, Jim is about the only person i can think of who would waste time using those stupid things. Whatever floats yer boat i guess.
About the panel. I can dictate the thickness and I will keep it close to stock. I have not measured but it looks like 2 or 3mm. Painting should not be a problem.

Dave I tried to call you again last night but you were MIA.

And I'm also in the red square club b/c apparently that certain special someone wastes his time on me too.

Do you have any pics of how the shifter pannel is supposed to look so there isnt a lot of hammering on the tranny? Im redoing a shifter pannel for a local guy. BTW thanks for holding on to those black leather seats I bought from you for so long. I assumed my buddy was kepping you informed on when he was going to pick them up, he told me he would take care of it. Thanks agin Mike

Let me make that a little clearer, Pics of the shifter pannel after the ac relocation so there is not a ton of banging on the tranny tunnel. Thanks
