My respect to Mrs BC, there's no thing you can answer correctly to a woman (and even more to yours) asking you something about herself except may be that she always have a good sight

Indeed never right with a woman

It's a good job she hasn't got good eyesight she'd have not lasted 25 years with me......

At this point of your project, every little detail show you you're progressing in a good way ! Good job !

Really don't want to cut the dash.......

about U and Mrs: I won't judge, it's your opinion

about the dash, you're embarrassed for cutting the part itself or for the work of doing another fit and well in fiber ?

I always get the last word in with Mrs BC "Yes Dear"

I'd like it to fit without cutting - it's a nice dash, no cracks and very few marks - It should fit if the shell is where it needs to be.

In fact I'd compromise on wheel in arch position and shell position to get the dash to fit well - how crazy is that!!!

'Yes Dear' as almost in every couple

But don't you think that this compromise would ruin the balance of yout car and make it undriveable ?

I don't think an inch would have that much effect :D

As for balance - well make it light enough as a whole you can always reposition items to change the balance

I got the Monza down to 1200 kgs with all fluids but no driver - but much of the weight was in the front (best approximation is 25/75 (so very little in the back) - which made it interesting from a handling perspective

Target for the Mongrel is 1000 kgs with all fluids and no driver - I'll never get to a 50/50 weight distribution with a large lump of pig iron up front but if I end up at 1100 kgs and 40/60 I'll still be happy

It's not like I'm doing something that has been done time and time again and I have a blueprint to follow!!

Do we talk about Mrs BC or about the mongrel ?
[/joke]

For your car, since you does not touch to the place of the wheel, may be it would not really change something to move the shell for an Inch ...

I think that too - but looks still matter - it needs to look like a Commodore not some botched together mess

I took the dash out of the Monza to save some small weight - I'd run it without a dash when I first converted to 24V



It's not a nice look - escaped from a scrap yard I call it - it makes it hard to demist windows - fine for the summer but on a wet track day it's no good

So I put the dash back in



I later removed it again to lose weight when I couldn't lose any more elsewhere....... I didn't learn my lesson



The commodore dash is nice and not very heavy has all the vents as part of it the heater box and fan assembly are OK makes sense to use it. I don't want to make this car look like a scrap yard escape

Ok and trying to redo the dash in fiber in which you cut the problem out?

I may have to

Well rolling it out of the garage gave me the chance to see properly

Shell is too far forward





And as I already new not down enough at the front



Bonnet laid on to look a shuts



So push the shell back a bit and look at it again





It has dropped which is nice but it's still too high - I have plenty of clearance under the bonnet mind!!!

[Bstardchild]

It didn't look much like a commodore even with the wings and bonnet on - sometimes you have to do stuff just to make you feel better about things

It's a family joke but my teddy got a new nose
