And then there are other days.....................

I'm sure that any other builder on this forum that is building a LP640 is extremely pleased with the help that you have posted during your redo.  Kudos to you.  Thanks

Made the various parts, CSM'd them together,  did some body work on it , made a mold.
 
Nothing beats a new part with gel coat!

Nothing like work to get in the way of progress on the REDO  ::)

back at it  after about 3 weeks.

Lots of fiddly issues in  mounting the the dash,  console, grab handle and the lower dash panel.  Fabricated some brackets, blah blah blah

If work doesn't get in the way, it will be on to the drivers side ::salute

Need a airbag piece for the passenger side.

Not sure if I make a mold for this after final adjustment, and possible glove box or just delete it all together  :LL:
