Manny, I only noticed last night, my side rockers are already square, so I'm only going to square off the tunnel, and do the pedal boards, that should create a nice interior space for carpeting.I think it's going to look awesome when finished, all the correct edgings in place etc.
Got my bits yesterday by the way.. Thanks man.
cheers
Alan

Hi Alan
I am glad you got your parts, now the work begins.
As for the inner side rockers it is square on most speedster kit cars, on my speedster I added an additional panel to appear more authentic. As for tunnel I also added a square panel which slides over the existing tunnel to give it the square look.

Your new headlights do look like a slight upgrade from what you had.

Thanks Neels, and glad you got the old lense sorted on your car.
Gauge mods.
After re-doing the faces.
and then the last one, the Combo gauge. To look right, I had to modify all the smaller gauges, and turn it 45 degrees.

After
Dash Panel and passenger grab handle.. Not an easy job, but it's done now.

Looks like you're having fun!
Silly question - Why do you have a Temp gauge?

Still not sure if I'll use it or not tho.
Spent a week acting as tour guide for 8 friends from the USA.. Today was the first day I could get on with some work. Finished the dash panels and a BIG relief, the Windscreen went back on.
