He is one that I started when I was 16 and never finished, but you get the idea.

Its really too bad. It was a lot of fun making that dash. But I ended up stripping the car down putting my big motor in it, painting it black and racing it. Now its all cut up into pieces. But the new car is being built.

No. I've gone into more interesting things. Like Motors and suspension. I'm about ready to paint my bug that has a little over 20,000$ into it. I tossed that old dash out about a year ago. It was fun making it though. I definitly learned a thing or two about fiberglass.
