second pic... used fiberglass resin to hold into place and bondo'd the top.. also some sanding... I still need to sand this a lot more to get it to look like it's a part of the console...

I should have more pics of the project soon...

it is going to look good, can't wait to see it done.

How do you plan to put the "Texture" on the parts where you sanded or will you leave is smooth?

That looks amazing! Good work.

That is looking good. Where are you going to mount the display?

Pretty ingenious. Can't wait to see the finished product. Please post photos when you're done. ,,,And thanks for sharring!

I'm still in the sanding phase as of now... I'm going to sand it to try to get it to look as smooth as possible and then texture it...

I'm also working on the display right now... I'll post pics soon..

Where i can get fiberglass resin?

Any Home Depot or Lowe's. Kragen even has it. If you want rellay nice stuff, have to find a industrial supply company around you. IMO the Home Depot stuff works good for most applications.

dammn u knoe how to work on things huh, looks pretty tite!

I kinda did the same AC relocation work but without the comander button!!!

That's awsome, really nice clean fabrication!!

I bit off of Jays style with the textured 94 look when I molded my DIN panel... Might have to get silly with the PFC controls too... Not sure where I'll put 'em though.


Have you finished the display mount yet Jay?

how do you add the texture?

Justin yours is looking good aswell.
NIce work fellas. :)

Thanks guys...

I'm using SEMs Textured paint and SEMs Satin black plastic paint....

I'm sanding everything down even more right now and trying to get the display done... I should have pics real soon...

Banana can I have your front undersweep!!?? LOL

Ok... here are some pics...

I can't take credit for the rewiring of the power fc... my friend did it for me... i was NOT goin to mess with that... LOL There are 20 solder points... the 2 boards where connected by soldered pins at each point... you have to unsolder all 20 at the same time and pull the boards apart.. unless you have a better way of doing it... here are some pics...

Next is the display...

Looks great! The PFC button frame blended in pretty well!

Personally, I would've used a ribbon cable. You can get them with wirespacing that'll match the spacing of the LCD header.

Are you going to use the back of the PFC commander case to protect the mainboard, or do you have some other means worked out? My shifting console was pretty damn dusty last time I checked.

I actually lost the back side of the commander... I swear, I looked everywhere!!! I have to figure out what I can use to protect the back side... i might just leave it since it's hidden inside anyway.. a little dust won't hurt it.. :)
