Looks good TJay...I see you have lightening holes on the sides...are you planning to remain as is without a center console to reduce completion weight as well? Love the CF panel! Looks really clean.

That's beautiful, Mike! Very professional job... you've got "glass" in more ways than one - what kind of finish is that? Very nice. What did you do on the glareshield?
Gizmos - I really like your's too!
I should have started to pay more attention to all these works of art in this thread before forging ahead with mine.

Hi John,
Thanks for the compliments. I used Ranthane paint for the plane and panel. I set the panel perfectly flat and loaded it up with paint!
For the glareshield I used black microfiber cloth.
